Charles Heidsieck 1995 Blanc des Millénaires Chardonnay (Champagne)
- Editors' Choice
- $95
This 12-year old shows signs of maturity, but retains freshness and liveliness as well. With its yeasty edge, toasty flavors and wonderful white fruits all in balance, it is finely balanced. The acidity is kept in check by the richness of the mature fruit. A very complete Champagne.

Charles Heidsieck NV Réserve Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $36
A big boy with almost fleshy fruit. The flavors push into exotic, tropical richness yet retain spicy citrus-rind highlights. There is nothing clumsy, despite the ripeness; the finish seems to extend almost infinitely and keeps zinging you with surprises—marshmallow, marzipan, cookie dough, etc. An added bonus: the back label clearly indicates when it was bottled…

Charles Heidsieck 2000 Sparkling (Champagne)
This is young, fresh, full and yeasty, with considerable richness. It shows the superlative quality of Charles Heidsieck as a Champagne producer. A dry Champagne, it is softened by richness, but the intensity and flavor and full green fruits promise great development.

Charles Heidsieck 1985 Champagne Charlie Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $125
Medium-bodied with a silky mouthfeel, there’s a distinct meatiness, or nuttiness, dominating the palate, plus candied apricot and peach flavors. The wine finishes medium-long with mushroom notes. Chalk and biscuit aromas are wide and deep. Still a vibrant wine; 55% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir, with consistent bead. Lovely, and at its peak.

Charles Heidsieck 2000 Vintage Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
Showing surprising age for such a young vintage, this is a wine that’s ready. It is of course, like all Charles Heidsieck Champagnes, beautifully crafted, with its toast and spice element integrated deftly into the crisp fruits. A top quality Champagne, needing food for its full appreciation.

Charles Heidsieck NV Brut Réserve Sparkling (Champagne)
- Cellar Selection
- $55
A great wine, much more than only a Champagne, this is impressively rich and ripe, with crisp yellow fruits, spices and layers of toast. It’s in an opulent style that is round but also very focused on tight layers of fruit, minerality and final vivid acidity.

Charles Heidsieck 1996 Brut Rosé Sparkling (Champagne)
- $80
Creamy and loaded with orange, vanilla and baked white bread. Lovely in the mouth, with the nicest blend of snappy tangerine, sweet melon and yeast. Crisp on the edges, smooth in the middle, and complete as they come. Imported by Remy Cointreau USA.

Charles Heidsieck 1990 Brut en Magnum Sparkling (Champagne)
- Editors' Choice
- $145
Spent nine years on lees; starts off with a pastry-crust aroma. The wine’s mouthfeel is beautifully textured, neither too coarse nor too foamy. The flavor that manifests itself as butterscotch in the nonvintage brut is, here, like honey and toffee, adding richness to a pear-fruit core. A creamy, full and sexy wine, finishing medium-long. To toast with this wine is…
