Champagne Charles Heidsieck - Blanc de Blancs
Charles Heidsieck is a Champagne House in Reims, founded in 1851 by Charles Heidsieck. Rather than investing in vineyards, Heidsieck invested in underground chalk cellars based in the center of Reims called Les Crayères. They were less than 100 metres away from the German front line during the First World War and managed to survive, even though 80% of Reims was destroyed. The cellars have been used to age wines for nearly 150 years and are still part of the house today. In 1852, Charles Heidsieck left France for America, a market that was so far untouched by Champagne. He found great success there and was seen as not only an ambassador for Champagne but for France as a whole.
Charles Heidsieck a été l'une des toutes premières Maisons de Champagne à démontrer sa passion pour le Chardonnay en produisant un Blanc de Blancs pour son millésime 1949. À travers cette cuvée, relancée en 2018, deux des savoir-faire de la Maison se rejoignent : la production de grands vins blancs et l’art d’assembler une large sélection de vins d’années et de terroirs différents.
