Merchant's description

The Brut Réserve is the calling card of Charles Heidsieck. It is an almost-equal-parts blend of three varieties. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. The addition of 40% reserve wines with an average of 10 years ensures this has extra complexity and indulgence. One of the finest non-vintage Champagnes available.
