Portrait of Cyril Brun - the House Charles Heidsieck Could you introduce Charles Heidsieck and its characteristics in a few words?

House Charles Heidsieck was founded in 1851 by Charles-Camille Heidsieck with the purpose of sharing the expression of our terroirs and the international expansion of our business. Our reputation was quickly established on the basis of its non-vintage Brut wines, but also its Blanc de Blancs wines and, of course, on the legendary Cuvée Charlie. Today the company sells approximately one million bottles in fifty countries around the world.

What part of your job do you enjoy the most?

Tasting and blending the different cuvées is what lies at heart of our profession: a blend of intuition and science, and always with this obsessive quest for excellence in giving identity to our wines.

Why did you choose to use our Acor’s hoods for your wines?

LUXETAIN hoods by AMCOR combine quality and reliability, while allowing for the unique technical details that enhance the aesthetic appeal of Charles Heidsieck wines.

Other than Champagne, what are your favorite wines/ PDO wines?

I really like Burgundy wines (Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays in a different form from those produced in Champagne) and finally the crisp Rieslings that can be found in Alsace or Germany.

In terms of tasting, what has most recently caught your attention?

To contradict what I chose earlier, I tasted a Saint Emilion Château Canon 2015 a few weeks back: this vintage achieves a fine balance between the texture of the finish and the delicacy of aromas. It was superb!

What was the last purchase you made?

I've just brought back some bottles of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet from theDomaine VincentGirardin, still a little young but so full of promise!
