Generous and precise

TO THE EYE

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.

ON THE NOSE

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.

ON THE PALATE

The deep powerful mouthfeel offers a burst of strawberry, raspberry and blackberry nestled in velvety whipped cream.

LIKE THE BRUT RÉSERVE, the Rosé Réserve is the result of meticulous attention and stands out for its unconventional character. The Rosé Réserve is also the result of juices from the first press only and, the wine benefits from a slow and long maturation of 3 to 4 years, far beyond the norms of the region.

COMPLEXITY: 75% of the year’s wines are composed of equal portions of Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, while the 25% of reserve wines are made up of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay. The total of the cuvée is therefore 40% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 25% Meunier. Each are vinified cru by cru, varietal by varietal, in stainless steel vats.

PRÉCISION: 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.

GENEROSITY: 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.

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.
