Charles Heidsieck Champagne
Reims house since 1851, rich reserve wines, deep chalk cellars.
The story behind Charles Heidsieck
Charles-Camille Heidsieck founded this house in Reims in 1851, then sailed to the United States and charmed New York society so thoroughly that they nicknamed him Champagne Charlie. The family connection to Piper-Heidsieck is real and historical, but the two houses split long ago and run separate cellars with separate styles. Since 2011 the house has belonged to EPI, the private French luxury group directed by the Descours family.
What separates Charles Heidsieck from most non-vintage Champagne is reserve wine. The flagship Brut Reserve leans on 40 to 50 percent old reserves averaging 10 to 15 years, drawn from up to 60 crus of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Everything rests 65 feet underground in Roman chalk crayeres from the 2nd century, and non-vintage blends age three to four years before release.
