TASTING NOTES
Maison Charles Heidsieck is renewed in its tradition with a precious production of this red Coteaux Champenois from Ambonnay, the favorite wine of the Chef de Cave, Cyril Brun. A real invitation to be inspired by the mastery of the art of blending and the expression of a unique terroir. The Les Champsots parcel, where Pinot Noir grapes grow, is located in the heart of the Ambonnay terroir, a Grand Cru located on the southern slope of Mount Reims. The vineyard, naturally suited to the production of red wines, was chosen by Cyril to exploit all its potential. At the eyes the color is brilliant ruby red. The nose initially reveals notes of black fruits (currants, blackberries and black cherries), then leaving room for floral and spicy aromas (ginger, licorice, pepper and cinnamon). By rotating the glass, smoky aromas are released, almost with a sensation of peat. In the mouth the wine is full, generous, tannic with a silky finish with exquisite hints of salted caramel. Ready to drink in 2022, it can be stored for another 10 years. This Magnum bottle with its elegant wooden case, is a perfect gift.

Charles Camille Heidsieck was born in 1822, 37 years after his great-uncle founded Champagne Heidsieck et Cie House. The young Charles grew up in an environment where one breathed the air of champagne from an early age. At just 29, he took his destiny into his own hands and founded the Maison Charles Heidsieck , buying 47 crayères in which to vinify the grapes grown by his cousin Ernest Henriot. The 19th Century was the era of great discoveries and Charles immediately revealed himself to be a visionary, innovative and highly intelligent man. He became ambassador of his own Maison and, consequently, of all of France. During his travels, Charles Heidsieck embodied contemporary French glamor and distinguished himself as a free spirit with an innate kindness. Charles was a man with an elegant and clean charm, he conquered America and seduced the bourgeoisie of New York, becoming the legendary "Champagne Charlie" .
More than 160 years after its creation, the Maison remains a family business driven by the enterprising, ambitious and courageous spirit of the founder. The Champagnes Charles Heidsieck enjoys absolute fame. The unique style, characterized by a high percentage of reserve wines, is what gives balance to the Maison's cuvée sans année. The selected grapes give, together with the original Crus, complexity to the final product. Vinified vine by vine, they allow a precise selection of each wine in which one brings its touch of depth, the other its share of softness. The separate vinification allows precision and great refinement in the construction of flavors.
