The reserve wines represent the richness and uniqueness of Charles Heidsieckchampagnes, but they are also constantly evolving wines, which thanks to the savoir faire of chef de Cave are harmoniously assembled, enhancing the personality and peculiarities of each one. The vinification is carried out following a careful selection of the grapes, coming from excellent cru harvests and vinified individually in order to obtain different expressions of refinement, complexity and softness, then gathered in the final assembly. In addition, Charles chooses to refine his Champagne in the best conditions, inside the famous and ancient crayères,the ancient Gallo-Roman quarries dating back to the 2nd century and typical of the territory of Reims (the maison has owned more than eight kilometers of these majestic galleries, since 2015 unesco heritage).
