CharlesHeidsieckRoséReserve

<p>A sophisticated powdery pink robe with luminous glints of wild rose. Delicate, vivacious bubbles are the result of an ageing period of over 48 months.</p><p>The subtle, yet complex nose reveals initial fragrances of home-made strawberry jam mixed with the fruitiness of vineyard peaches. Warm velvety notes of gingerbread.</p><p>The deep powerful mouthfeel offers a burst of strawberry, raspberry and blackberry nestled in velvety whipped cream.</p><p>Like the Brut Réserve, the Rosé Réserve is the result of meticulous attention and stands out for its unconventional character.</p><p>80% of the year’s wines are composed of equal portions of Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, while the 20% of reserve wines are made up of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay. Each are vinified cru by cru, varietal by varietal, in stainless steel vats.</p><p>To ensure the ideal balance of freshness and elegance on one hand and structure and complexity on the other, the Cellar Master bides by a House principle, intentionally selecting reserve wines that are younger than those of the Brut Réserve. The red reserve wines, from the leading Pinot Noir terroirs, date from up to 5 years before the last harvest.</p><p>5 to 6% of wines vinified in red provide tannins and the fragrance of red fruits, a base upon which the Cellar Master will subtly develop a full-bodied, voluptuous rosé.</p><p>The grape selection of this great rosé blend reflects the diversity and richness of the Champagne region. As Charles-Camille Heidsieck did in his time, the House strives first and foremost to highlight year after year the specificity of each cru, its potential for expression and its nuanced palette.</p>
