Reims, the "capital" of the Champagne region (together with Epernay), is home to many of the historic and most famous maisons in the world for the production of this extraordinary bubble. Charles Heidsieck is the smallest of the large ones, but probably the most prestigious of those that bear the glorious name of Heidsieck, a large family with various cellars. It was founded by Charles Camille way back in 1851. The excellence of the labels produced, combined with skilled commercial strategies, establish the great success of the maison throughout the world over the years. For example, Charles Camille was among the first to conquer the American market, so much so that he was considered a myth among producers and earned the nickname Champagne Charlie. Today the maison has entered the orbit of the large financial group Epi Group together with its sister Piper-Heidsieck, but has remained a point of reference in the world of Champagne. The Charles Heidsieck house has been able to maintain, without interruption, a great reputation over the course of over two centuries of history, thanks above all to highly esteemed chefs de cave such as Thibault, Roset and Brun. The symbol and pride of the maison are the large underground chalk cellars which extend for over 8 kilometers of tunnels and which are among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In these underground cathedrals millions of bottles rest, subjected to maturation on the yeasts which, from a minimum of four years, can reach up to forty years of aging on the yeasts. The style of Charles Heidsieck Champagnes is unmistakable: a synthesis of harmony, elegance, complexity. Time is the best ally: "for us time is the fourth vine", says one of the mottos of the maison. This means that all the bottles produced also have great longevity, as well as an undisputed elegance, making them complex, intense and with great persistence.
