Huon Hooke, The Real Review "The extra power and dimension from the pinots is obvious alongside the Blanc de Blancs. Lots of roasted hazelnuts; full-bodied, rich, with even more of the toasty bread impact. A fuller bodied rendition than I remembered previous releases; very detailed, dry and incredibly long."

James Suckling "A creamy and silky champagne that has notes of lemons, pastries and apple compote on the nose. It’s medium-bodied and layered with fine bubbles and tasty pastry notes on the fresh, balanced finish."

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate "The NV Brut Réserve, a combination of more than 60 different crus and 150 wines, evokes aromas of brioche, pastry, ripe orchard fruits, beeswax and spices. Medium to full-bodied, enrobing and charming, it has a fleshy core of fruit, a pinpoint mousse and delicate acids, making it a charming, delicate Champagne."

Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast "A vibrant Champagne with a white fruit aroma offers a touch of maturity and richness that is typical of the Charles Heidsieck style. Red apples, citrus and toast give the wine a fine balance."

James Suckling "Very impressive for a "regular" non-vintage Brut, not only in terms of aromatic complexity - candied citrus, dried peach and fresh mirabelle plus a hint of bread dough - also in terms of texture, the creamy, rich and crisp sides of the wine neatly interlocking. Long, structured finish."

Wine Enthusiast "This nonvintage Champagne shows the hallmark of the producer. With its 50% reserve wines to bring out maturity, the wine is full of fruit, touched by toast."

Falstaff "Pale yellow-green, silver reflections, delicate but active mousse. Fine herbal savouriness, a hint of yellow plum, nuances of white flowers, fresh apple, lime zest in the bouquet. Medium-bodied, youthful, tight-knit, vivid fruit sweetness at the core, lively acidity structure, salty finish, delicate orange zest in the aftertaste, versatile."

Decanter "Charles Heidsieck turns out an impeccable NV. The reserves form a serious, appetising core of dried apricot and sourdough around which zesty citrus, raspberry and bitter almond offer brightness and energy. Impressive detail and length."

Vinum Wine Magazine "Charles Heidsieck is renowned for the exclusive Cuvée des Millénaires, currently epitomised by the exceptional 2007 vintage, which we wholeheartedly recommend. However, we also have a special fondness for the more accessible non-vintage Brut, which we present here! This champagne showcases a seductive spice rarely found today, with notes of brioche, hazelnut, cocoa, and lemon drop. Elegantly fruity and supremely smooth on the palate, it is both refined and harmonious—a true caress for the senses. Impressively sophisticated, it stands as a heartfelt tribute to champagne and a piece of champagne history."

40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier.

Champagne is the most iconic sparkling wine in the world, produced in the region of Champagne in France. Synonymous with celebration, champagne is typically produced from a few specific varieties of grapes: pinot noir, chardonnay, and pinot meunier. With effervescent flavors of citrus, almond, and apple, champagne comes in varying levels of sweetness and has a moderate amount of alcohol. The most treasured Champagnes age for a minimum of 3 years.
