Charles Heidsieck NV Brut is a classic non-vintage Champagne from Reims. A Pinot Noir–forward blend with Chardonnay and Meunier, aged on lees to add depth. It offers orchard fruit, citrus zest, brioche, and toasted notes, with crisp acidity and a creamy mousse. Polished and versatile, it pairs well with seafood, poultry, and soft cheeses, or works as an elegant aperitif.
