Brut Réserve NV (Magnum)

Charles Heidsieck is one of the smallest of Champagne’s Grandes Marques, founded in 1851 by Charles-Camille Heidsieck, who won the name "Champagne Charlie" selling his wines across America in the 1850s, where his style and showmanship made him a celebrity. Every one of the house’s champagnes is aged in the crayères, the chalk cellars beneath Reims that the Romans hand-dug nearly 2,000 years ago and that are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, cool and dark enough for the long, slow lees-ageing the house is known for. The results speak for themselves at the International Wine Challenge, where the cellar masters of Charles Heidsieck have been named Sparkling Winemaker of the Year sixteen times between them. The house has been owned by the Descours family since 2011, and in 2022 became one of the first Grandes Marques to earn B Corp certification.
