Founded in 1851 by Charles-Camille Heidsieck, the original ‘Champagne Charlie’, the foundation of its modern fame rests on the unrivalled quality of its wines, which receive countless awards and accolades year after year. This success is attributable to the strength and depth of their winemaking team over the past three decades: Daniel Thibault, Régis Camus, Thierry Roset and Cyril Brun have between them been awarded ‘Sparkling Winemaker of the Year’ at the International Wine Challenge 14 times. No other house has won more than twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCyril Brun took over as Chef de Cave in 2015. The winemaking philosophy is simple, and is evident in the Brut Réserve: grapes are sourced from 60 different ‘crus’ across the region; fermentation and ageing of the base wines takes place primarily in stainless steel to preserve freshness; it is a blend of 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 20% Meunier, including at least 40% reserve wines, the average age of which is 10 years; and finally, the Brut Réserve is aged in bottle on its lees for at least three years prior to release. These components combine to give a wine that is more ‘Premium Cuvée’ than ‘Brut Réserve’, and account for its success at competitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine is suitable for consumption by Vegetarians and Vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine has been produced using a sustainable process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charles Heidsieck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":6561089989,"sku":"3037900000000_G3","price":66.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/5962\/files\/Websitesquares_28.jpg?v=1682414834"},{"product_id":"bellamodellapinotgrigio2021","title":"Bella Modella, Pinot Grigio Terre di Chieti 2024\/25","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGet to know: Bella Modella, Pinot Grigio Terre di Chieti 2024, Abruzzo, Italy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA crisp, clean Italian white that’s all about freshness.

The nose is characterised by aromas of mature Chardonnay; white peach, candied citrus with notes of lime, honeysuckle and fresh hazelnuts giving way to subtle hints of tangerine and lemon. On the palate, the Blanc de Blancs bears all the hallmarks of a Charles Heidsieck Champagne: boldness, generosity and elegance. Embracing yet light, it displays appealing mineral, slightly salty, iodine notes, and has a silky, creamy texture – unexpected from a Chardonnay – that leaves a lasting impression.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine is suitable for consumption by Vegetarians and Vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine has been produced using a sustainable process.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charles Heidsieck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30985152954481,"sku":"2518_G1","price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/5962\/products\/charles-heidsieck-blanc-de-blancs-nv.jpg?v=1612972134"},{"product_id":"charlesheidsieckbrutmillesime2012","title":"Charles Heidsieck, Brut Millesime 2012","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGet to know: Charles Heidsieck, Brut Millesime\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharles Heidsieck's millésime usually comprises around 11 crus.

Founded in 1851 by Charles-Camille Heidsieck, the original ‘Champagne Charlie’, the foundation of its modern fame rests on the unrivalled quality of its wines, which receive countless awards and accolades year after year. This success is attributable to the strength and depth of their winemaking team over the past three decades: Daniel Thibault, Régis Camus, Thierry Roset and Cyril Brun have between them been awarded ‘Sparkling Winemaker of the Year’ at the International Wine Challenge 14 times. No other house has won more than twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot often do such spectacular wines come from so chaotic a vintage. A series of hailstorms, rains, and cold snaps during flowering in spring followed by a heat wave and water stress reduced yields by 30%. A settled and sunny summer then enabled slow maturing and good concentration in the grapes, resulting in a late harvest. Grapes proved to be of excellent quality: rich in sugar and with good acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"features-list__name\"\u003eMade from a blend of 59% Pinot Noir , 41% Chardonnay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"features-list__name\"\u003eAWARDS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilver International Wine Challenge 2022\u003cbr\u003eSilver Decanter World Wine Awards 2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"features-list__name\"\u003eThis wine is suitable for consumption by Vegetarians and Vegans.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"features-list__name\"\u003eThis wine has been produced using a sustainable process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charles Heidsieck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30985153216625,"sku":"2519_S","price":115.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/5962\/files\/CharlesHeidsieck_BrutMillesime.jpg?v=1682607027"},{"product_id":"charlesheidsieckrosenv","title":"Charles Heidsieck, Rose Reserve NV","description":"\u003cp\u003eA deliciously fresh wine which perfectly expresses the complexity of the Charles Heidsieck spirit.
