Charles Heidsieck was one of the very first champagne houses to demonstrate its passion for Chardonnay by producing a Blanc de Blancs in its 1949 vintage. There is also evidence that the Maison had produced some mono crus from the Cote des Blancs as early as1906. Through this cuvee, relaunched in 2018, two of the Houses areas of expertise come together, the production of great white wines and the art of blending a large selection of wines from different years and terroirs. The considerable challenge is to make opposites coexist, the tautness and the freshness of young chardonnays on the one hand, and the silky charles character on the other.
