Tasting Notes & Experience

A graceful powder-pink hue with glints of wild rose and delicate, persistent bubbles. The bouquet unfolds with notes of homemade strawberry jam and vineyard peaches, interwoven with subtle gingerbread and warm spice. On the palate, a lush burst of strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry melts into velvety cream, supported by a deep, generous structure and long, elegant finish.

Craftsmanship & Story

Like its iconic Brut Réserve, this Rosé Réserve is the product of meticulous blending and long cellar ageing. The base wine is composed of equal parts Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier, with 25% reserve wines aged for up to five years adding depth and maturity. A small portion (5–6%) of red Pinot Noir from Grand Cru terroirs provides a beautiful hue and structure. Aged for over four years in ancient chalk cellars, this Champagne embodies the perfect harmony between freshness, precision, and voluptuous fruit.

Special Features

True to Charles Heidsieck’s pursuit of individuality, this rosé transcends the conventional. Crafted from first-press juices only and matured well beyond regional standards, it delivers a texture that is both creamy and refined, with a luxurious mouthfeel that speaks to its slow, graceful evolution underground.
