This Charles Heidsieck box contains two bottles of Brut Réserve, the house's emblematic cuvée.
The Brut Réserve Charles Heidsieck is a fine, elegant, mineral champagne, yet offering great complexity and gourmandise. It's a cuvée that's equally at home at the table or as an aperitif.
Charles Heidsieck's Brut Réserve is a blend of grapes from around 60 different Champagne terroirs, plus reserve wines with an average age of 10 years, which account for 40% of the blend. This high proportion of wines from previous harvests, combined with 8 years' ageing in the Charles Heidsieck cellars, ensures that Brut Réserve has a perfectly unique and inimitable style.
Brut Réserve Charles Heidsieck has a deep, intense gold color and very fine bubbles.
The nose is astonishing and singular, combining roasted coffee, brioche and pastries, with hints of ripe mango, apricot and dried fruit.
On the palate, Brut Réserve reveals its full potential. It's a precise champagne, with an elegant, rich touch.
It's a cuvée with a smooth, even creamy texture, and a praline and vanilla finish.
