Charles Heidsieck

Rosé Réserve | Bottle 75cl

Description

Champagne Charles Heidsieck Rosé Réserve follows in the footsteps of Brut Réserve, but with a bolder personality. Produced exclusively from the first press, this blended rosé seduces with its balance of generosity, finesse and complexity. Aged for 3 to 4 years in the House's Crayères Millénaires, it reveals Charles Heidsieck's exacting standards in the art of time and blending.

An exceptional blend for a signature rosé

Rosé Réserve is the fruit of a skilfully orchestrated blend, where freshness and structure coexist in perfect harmony:

• 40% Pinot Noir, for structure, density and aromatic depth.
• 35% Chardonnay, for 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, delicacy and depth to the cuvée. This blend is completed by 5 to 6% red wine vinified from Pinot Noir from Les Riceys. Subtle dosage and parcel-by-parcel vinification enhance the precision of this champagne's assertive style.

Presentation of Elise Losfelt, Cellar Manager

"The delicate nuances of powdery pink reveal a wine of great precision. Inspired by the Brut Réserve, it is enriched with great red Champagne wines that reinforce its generous, acidic identity and delicately fruity, elegant palate."

Tasting the cuvée

• Color

  A delicate powdery-pink color with luminous hints of rosehip. The fine, persistent effervescence is the result of 48 months' ageing on the lees in chalk.

• Nose

  An expressive, complex nose of candied strawberries and vine peaches, followed by warm notes of gingerbread and homemade jam.

• Palate

  Full-bodied, fleshy and generous on the palate. It evokes a sabayon of strawberries, raspberries and blackberries, wrapped in a creamy texture reminiscent of whipped cream. A smooth, persistent finish.
