Charles Heidsieck NV Brut Réserve continues to collect the top Champagne awards for good reason—it’s a stunning Champagne from a Champagne House for those in the know, and through the Club you secure the very best price!
Among the accolades, Trophy at the International Wine Challenge 2023 and Gold Medals at the international wine awards, including Gold in the Decanter World Wine Awards and Top 100 from WMA—plus high praise from the critics, for example Wine Spectator: ‘Rich and smoky, offering fine texture and racy acidity with tightly knit flavours of toasted brioche’ —93/100 points.
Charles Heisieck is a stellar Champagne House through the unrivalled and consistently high quality of its wines. Founded in 1851 by the man who would become known as ‘Champagne Charlie’, this family-owned House is the smallest of the Grandes Marques. Their size, and commitment to excellence, has been underpinned by a winemaking team that between them have been named ‘Sparkling Winemaker of the Year’ at the International Wine Challenge more than 15 times.
Their Champagne is also not easy to get hold of. It is never available to supermarkets, the House insisting on it being stocked in only the best independent wine merchants.
This, the multi-award-winning Brut NV, is a radiant pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles, complex pastry aromas, and an opulent and complex combination of ripe apricot, mango and greengages, dried fruits, pistachio and almond. The palate begins with a silky-smooth sensation, developing into ripe fleshy apricot, melon, enticing plum pastry notes and delicate spice. Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve NV is a perfect balance of freshness and generosity. To achieve the depth and complexity required by the house style, Charles Heidsieck age their Non-Vintage Brut for three years, much longer than the legal requirement of 15 months.
The Champagne is a perfect balance of freshness and generosity and our Club Tasting Panel are among the connoisseurs who highly recommend it—this fine Champagne is on the wine list at the Michelin Star Ritz at £120 a bottle.
Grapes: 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir 20% Pinot Meunier. Case of six bottles delivered (UK mainland).

About Charles Heidsieck, the House:
At just 29 years of age, Charles-Camille Heidsieck decided to create his eponymous House in 1851. Despite being an heir – the Heidsiecks were one of the most respected families in the Champagne world – he decided to forge his own path and establish his own dynasty, eager to embark on his own entrepreneurial journey.
Based in the great city of Reims, Charles Heidsieck is one of the few Houses that are able to use the fabulous chalk ‘crayères’ cellars under the city. The ‘crayères’ were hollowed out during Gallo-Roman times so that the chalk could be used for building. These cellars now provide a perfect atmosphere for the ageing of Champagne.
The entire Charles Heidsieck range is excellent from the Brut Réserve right up to the luxury cuvées Blanc des Millénaires (all of which are available to our Members at advantageous prices). A great believer in the ageability of fine Champagne, Charles Heidsieck ensure that their luxury cuvées drink well for decades.
In 2022, Charles Heidsieck was one of the first Grand Marques, alongside Piper-Heidsieck, to achieve B-Corp Certification, illustrating an ongoing commitment to improving both their social and environmental impact on the planet. The House embraces a simple, quality-focused winemaking philosophy, which is particularly evident in the ‘Brut Réserve’. For this cuvée, grapes are sourced from 60 different ‘crus’ across the region, with fermentation and ageing of the base wines undertaken primarily in stainless steel to preserve freshness. The final blend comprises 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier, including 50% reserve wines with an average age of 10 years. The ‘Brut Réserve’ is then aged on its lees, in bottle, for at least three years before release. These elements create an expression that is more ‘Premium Cuvée’ than ‘Brut Réserve’, which accounts for its success at competitions.
The Brut Réserve NV is a radiant pale gold colour with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is characterised by complex pastry aromas, with an opulent combination of ripe apricot, mango, greengages, dried fruits, pistachio and almond. The palate begins with a silky-smooth sensation, developing into ripe fleshy apricot, melon and enticing plum pastry notes and delicate spice. There is perfect balance of freshness and generosity.
