CHARLES HEIDSIECK

Charles Heidsieck Brut Nv 1.5L Magnum 1500ml

Trust your Taste

Brioche, toasted nuts and ripe apricot lead into plum, cherry and a hint of praline in Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve. The texture is velvety and generous, with fine bubbles and a fresh edge. Try it when you want a richer Champagne with plenty to discover in the glass.

How this wine feels

This feels full and creamy through the middle, with ripe fruit and developed nutty flavours. Fine bubbles and a crisp edge balance the richness. It should appeal if you enjoy depth and softness rather than a very lean sparkling style.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
