Champagne Charlie 2020
€500.00
A TASTE OF HISTORY, A SCENT OF LEGEND…AND A CERTAIN TALENT FOR HAPPINESS.
The Charles Heidsieck Champagne Charlie 2020 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. Free-spirited and adventurous, his inspiration was enough to encourage his heirs today to recreate a cuvée in his name and, more particularly, in his nickname.
One bottle of Charles Heidsieck wine can contain up to almost 60 different crus, each differing in cellaring times but generally longer than the average time.
In addition, our art of blending ensures that Charles Heidsieck wines boast good cellaring potential. The Champagne Charlie cuvée will be one of the most distinctive from an ageing point of view: a large part of the blend comes from réserve wines aged on lees for up to 25 years.

Tasting Profile
A luminous gold with fine, elegant bubbles, suggesting richness and complexity
Rich and expressive—baked apple and citrus with toasted brioche and a touch of honey. There’s a deeper layer too, like roasted nuts and a hint of spice, giving it a warm, luxurious feel.
Broad and creamy—ripe apple and citrus wrapped in fine, silky bubbles. There’s a toasty, nutty depth underneath, but it stays fresh and precise, with a long, elegant finish.
