Champagne Charles Heidsieck Celebrates 160 Years in the U.S. with New Brut and Rosé

Charles Heidsieck, founder of Charles-Camille Heidsieck, is the inspiration for two new expressions, Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve NV (SRP: $65) and Rosé Réserve NV (SRP: $80), available nationally in September.

Equal proportions of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, with a very careful selection from 60 crus (formerly 120), a 40% reserve wine base (the highest in Champagne) with an average age of 10 years (formerly 8 years) for the Brut and a 20% reserve wine base for the Rosé, blended with a 2007 vintage year wine, the recently appointed Chef de Cave, Thierry Roset finds the delicate balance of complexity, depth and smoothness that defines the Charles Heidsieck signature style.
