Our Happy Buyers will celebrate their purchase with a bottle of champagne "Blanc de Blancs" form our partner Charles HeidsieckChampagne heir carried by a spirit of conquest and a certain taste for challenge, Charles Heidsieck was a gentleman-entrepreneur who counted in this 19th century that dared to do anything. Founder of his own House at the age of 29, he left for the other side of the Atlantic where he literally created the consumption of champagne. Five generations have succeeded one another at the head of the House, carrying high the initial vision of a singular champagne of extreme quality. Since 1851, the authenticity and sense of bias of the man Americans have dubbed 'Champagne Charlie' has inspired the unique texture of its Champagnes, preserved in age-old chalk chalks. The vintages "Mis en caves", Champagne Charlie and the 2000 oenothèque testify, among other things, to the pioneering and free character of the House. Its acquisition in 2011 by Christopher Descours and the EPI Group enabled it to quickly start a new and international ambition.
