Charles Heidsieck Rose Reserve NV
Charles Heidsieck Rose Reserve is a deliciously fresh wine which perfectly expresses the complexity of the Charles Heidsieck spirit.
Coral-like in appearance, with subtle orange reflections reminiscent of antique roses.
Freshly picked strawberry aromas gradually become more intense, with home-made strawberry jam and blood peach alongside rich, warm notes of gingerbread and cinnamon.
A vivacious palate full of red fruit, with some generous floral notes. Following a silky-rich texture, the finish is long and balanced.
Charles Heidsieck is one of the most admired Champagne houses thanks to the unrivalled and consistently high quality of its wines.
The current range is one of the most awarded collections of wines in the world.
The intricacies of the champagnes' complex make-up have been perfected over the years by one of the most celebrated winemaking teams in Champagne - between three winemakers they have been awarded 'Sparkling Winemaker of the Year' at the International Wine Challenge fifteen times.
This winemaking legacy, paired with the house's flamboyant history since its foundation in 1851 by the man who would become known as 'Champagne Charlie', makes it a unique offering from Champagne: a house with great, hand-crafted wines, heritage and proven quality.
Charles Heidsieck have built exceptional relationships with the most experienced growers the entire Champagne region. For the Rosé, fruit comes from top villages, such as Riceys, Ambonnay and Ay.
After the first fermentation in stainless steel each tank undergoes malolactic fermentation to soften the natural acidity.
Blended with a base of 20% red and white reserve wines, and 5-6% of the Pinot Noir having been vinified as a red wine, the cuvée is bottled and yeast added to begin the second fermentation.
The bottles are placed in the cellar at a temperature of about 10°C.
In order to achieve the depth and complexity required by the house style, Charles Heidsieck age their Non-Vintage champagne for three years before disgorging, much longer than the legal requirement of 15 months.
