Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
Along with Piper, Charles Heidsieck is the jewel in the crown of the Descours family, and richly deserves to be considered one of today's most brilliant brands. It owes this status to the superb definition of each of its champagnes, and to the mellow, suave roundness so characteristic of the "Charles style". The house style is not based on power, tension or minerality, but on elegance.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
Founded in 1851 in Reims, this small house, well known to discerning wine-lovers, owes its success to the style of its rounded, vinous champagnes. With a very high proportion of reserve wines in the blend (40%) and an assertive dosage of 8g, Charles-Heidsieck's brut sans année cultivates an original style, somewhat at odds with certain fashions, but with undeniable personality. Since the Descours family bought the house in 2011, a new era has opened up for Charles-Heidsieck, which, without losing its soul, is returning to the forefront with a complete range of top-quality wines. A trajectory that we are compensating with a second star.
