Charles Heidsieck Champagne Réserve Rosé

Charles Heidsieck Rosé Réserve is the non-vintage rosé of Charles Heidsieck — a sophisticated powdery pink with luminous glints of wild rose, delicate vivacious bubbles from 36+ months of aging, 20% white and red reserve wines giving subtle complexity, with strawberry jam, orchard peach, gingerbread, and cinnamon notes leading to a deep, tantalizing palate.

In 1851, young Charles Heidsieck founded his own Champagne house in Reims and traversed the United States promoting the brand — earning him the nickname “Champagne Charlie.” The Réserve Rosé ages in the house’s 2,000-year-old chalk cellars in Reims, which give the wine its deep, powerful mouthfeel. Only 60 crus from Champagne are blended for Charles Heidsieck cuvées, with three stylistic pillars: Grand Cru Chardonnay from Oger, Grand Cru Pinot Noir from Ambonnay, and distinctive Pinot Meunier from Verneuil.
