Between 1979 and 1985, Maison Charles Heidsieck`s prestige cuvée was named in honour of the Maison`s founder, Charles Heidsieck. The Champagne Charlie legend is intertwined with the soul of a man who bequeathed so many new ideas to his House, and who knew what it was to be an entrepreneur, a gentleman and an innovator. This is a rare vinous treasure from the 1985 vintage, that has seen more than 30 years aging in the Maison`s historic cellars.
Vinous
Good pale color. Knockout aromas of smoke, truffle and exotic Indian spices. Round, seamless and creamy, with mellow but fresh flavors of toasted nuts, marzipan, mocha, lemon butter and earth. Showcases the wonderful balance of this great Champagne vintage. Fully mature and starting to lose its mousse, but a joy to drink. This is a re-release of this vintage, disgorged earlier this year; 1985 was the last time this cuvee was made by Charles Heidsieck. Also tasted: NV Brut Reserve. Stephen Tanzer1st November 2003

Where Heritage Meets the Finesse of Time

For nearly two centuries, Charles Heidsieck has stood as a beacon of excellence in the world of Champagne, crafting some of the most expressive and meticulously aged wines in the region. Founded in 1851 by the visionary Charles-Camille Heidsieck, the house quickly earned a reputation for bold innovation and unwavering quality. Nicknamed “Champagne Charlie” for his pioneering efforts in introducing Champagne to America, Heidsieck’s adventurous spirit lives on in every bottle. The maison’s historic chalk cellars, dating back to the Gallo-Roman era, provide the ideal conditions for the long ageing that defines Charles Heidsieck’s signature depth and complexity.

Renowned for its opulent texture, rich aromas, and refined balance, Charles Heidsieck Champagne is crafted using an exceptionally high proportion of reserve wines, some aged for over 10 years. This dedication to extended maturation results in an unmistakable creaminess and layered complexity. From the elegant Brut Réserve to the prestigious Blanc des Millénaires, every cuvée reflects the house’s meticulous craftsmanship and commitment to excellence. With a legacy built on time, patience, and audacious creativity, Charles Heidsieck remains one of Champagne’s most distinguished and sought-after names
