THE PRODUCER
Another distinguished Champagne house, separate from Piper-Heidsieck, both are
associated with the Heidsieck family name and have their roots in the Champagne
region of France. Charles Heidsieck, often referred to as "Champagne Charlie,"
has its own unique history and reputation.

Charles Heidsieck founded his Champagne house in Reims in 1851, he was an
ambitious and pioneering figure in the Champagne industry, helping to popularize
Champagne in the United States.

THE WINE
This cuvée showcases a harmonious blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot
Meunier, resulting in a Champagne of remarkable complexity and finesse. With a
golden hue and a delicate effervescence, it opens with an enticing bouquet of
orchard fruits, brioche, and hints of hazelnut. On the palate, the wine reveals
a perfect balance between freshness and depth, offering flavours of ripe pear,
citrus, and a subtle toasty richness. The extended aging on lees contributes to
its creamy texture and a finish that lingers with elegance.

CRITICS SCORES
We choose our wines based on a range of criteria(seehow we choose our wines)of
which critic scores is justone. Rather than simply highlight the best score to
promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided
by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do
not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more
weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores
like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.

As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or
better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a
high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we
offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the
market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and
representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide
to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add
individual critic scores to our website in the future.
