Charles Heidsieck Rosé Réserve Champagne is a continuation of Brut Réserve, while asserting a bolder personality. Made exclusively from the first pressing, this blended rosé charms with its balance of generosity, finesse, and complexity. Aged for 3 to 4 years in the House's thousand-year-old chalk cellars, it reveals Charles Heidsieck's exacting standards in the art of aging and blending.
An exceptional blend for a signature rosé
Rosé Réserve is the result of a skilfully orchestrated blend, where freshness and structure coexist in perfect harmony:
- 40% Pinot Noir, for structure, density and aromatic depth.
- 35% Chardonnay, which brings elegance, tension and a touch of chalkiness.
- 25% Meunier, for suppleness, roundness and bright fruity aromas.
The blend includes up to 35% reserve wines, with an average age of 5 years, bringing complexity, richness and depth to the cuvée. This blend is complemented by 5 to 6% red wine made from Pinot Noir from Les Riceys. The subtle dosage and single-vineyard vinification reinforce the precision of this assertive champagne.
Tasting notes
Appearance
A delicate powder pink color with bright hints of wild rose. The fine, persistent effervescence is evidence of 48 months of aging on lees in chalk cellars.
Nose
An expressive and complex nose, blending candied strawberry and vine peach, followed by warm notes of gingerbread and homemade jam.
Palate
The palate is full-bodied, fleshy and generous. It evokes a sabayon of strawberries, raspberries and blackberries, enveloped in a creamy texture reminiscent of whipped cream. The finish is smooth and persistent.
