Charles Heidsieck

Rosé Réserve | Bottle 75cl - Box

Description

Presented in a refined case in the image of the House of Charles Heidsieck, Champagne Rosé Réserve is seductive at first glance. But it's on tasting that it reveals all its uniqueness: a blended rosé that's as gourmand as it is precise, elegantly balancing the freshness of red fruit with the depth of prolonged maturation in crayères. A complex, structured yet accessible champagne, ideal for celebrating a precious moment or offering a refined gift.

A bold blend for a fruity signature

Rosé Réserve en étui is based on a blend of wines of the year (75%), equally divided between Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier, plus a careful selection of reserve wines aged an average of 5 years, half Chardonnay and half Pinot Noir. The final blend is thus based on :

• 40% Pinot Noir - for structure and red fruit aromas.
• 35% Chardonnay - for freshness, elegance and minerality.
• 25% Meunier - for roundness and greediness.

The whole is enhanced by 5-6% red wine vinified from Pinots Noirs des Riceys, which bring color intensity and aromatic freshness. The blend is aged for 3 to 4 years in the House's legendary Crayères Millénaires, lending depth and silkiness to the texture.

Presentation of Elise Losfelt, Cellar Manager

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