Description
Indulge in the exquisite sophistication of the Charles Heidsieck Rosé Millésimé 2008, presented beautifully in a luxurious gift box. This remarkable champagne, hailing from the celebrated Champagne region of France, encapsulates the artistry and dedication that have defined Charles Heidsieck since its inception in 1851.
With a stunning blend comprising 63% Pinot Noir and 37% Chardonnay, this vintage Rosé offers a lively tapestry of flavors and aromas:
- Nose: Experience a captivating bouquet featuring smoky spice, deep pomegranate, and vibrant citrus notes of blood orange and lemon peel, harmonized with hints of liquorice and ground coffee.
- Palate: Revel in a slender and vibrant texture marked by creamy depth and nuanced fine tannins, alongside a vivid white pepper savoriness and refreshing mineral acidity. Layers of blood orange and candied citrus peel beckon, leading to a refined finish.
- Finish: Enjoy a long, creamy finish characterized by delicate bubbles and a mineral-driven dryness, encapsulating subtle blood orange zest for an elegant conclusion.
This dry Champagne Rosé from the exceptional 2008 vintage is not just a beverage; it's a promise of lineage, interwoven with the expertise of renowned winemakers. The meticulously aged grapes are nurtured in UNESCO-recognized chalk cellars, enhancing the quality and complexity.
For optimum enjoyment, we recommend serving the Charles Heidsieck Rosé at a slightly cooler temperature of 7°C (45°F) to truly accentuate its refreshing qualities and delicate aroma profile. Elevate your experience by:
- Presenting it in wide, tulip-shaped glasses to fully express the multifaceted nuances of the champagne.
- Garnishing with edible flower petals, such as violets or rose petals, for an elegant touch.
- Pairing with visually stunning dishes, like pink grapefruit and fennel salad, or smoked salmon blinis with crème fraîche and beetroot powder, to enhance the vibrant color and complexity.
- Using the bottle as an exquisite centerpiece at your gatherings, adorned with dried rosebuds or blush-toned ribbons to complement its appearance.
- Crafting a delightful sparkling rosé cocktail by mixing with a splash of elderflower liqueur and a fresh thyme sprig, served in a coupe glass for a refined twist.
- Enjoying it during sensory-driven occasions like sunset picnics, where its chilled crispness elevates the relaxed atmosphere.
- Experimenting with unconventional desserts such as rosewater panna cotta topped with pomegranate seeds, amplifying both aroma and visual appeal.
The Charles Heidsieck Rosé Millésimé 2008 is not merely a drink; it is an invitation to celebrate life’s most exquisite moments. Perfect for gifting, or as a sophisticated indulgence for yourself, this exceptional wine will enhance any occasion.

- Pair with visually striking dishes such as pink grapefruit and fennel salad with a touch of chili or smoked salmon blinis topped with crème fraîche and a hint of beetroot powder to enhance the rosé’s color and complexity.
- Use the bottle as a stunning centerpiece decorated with a subtle wrap of dried rosebuds or a thin ribbon in blush tones to match the rosé hue making it a conversation starter at intimate celebrations.
- Incorporate into a sparkling rosé cocktail by gently mixing with a dash of elderflower liqueur and a sprig of fresh thyme served in a coupe glass for a refined twist.
- Perfect for sensory-driven occasions like an outdoor sunset picnic with soft instrumental music where the visual appeal of the rosé and its chilled crispness complements the relaxed ambiance.
- Experiment by pairing it with unconventional desserts like rosewater panna cotta topped with pomegranate seeds accentuating both the fragrance and the vibrant color of the rosé.
Storage advice
For storing Champagne Rosé keep unopened bottles at a stable temperature between 7-12°C preferably around 10-12°C for long-term storage to avoid premature aging or cork drying. Store the bottle horizontally to maintain cork moisture and a good seal preventing oxidation and preserving the carbonation. Protect the bottle from light exposure by placing it in a dark location such as a cellar wine fridge or a cupboard; light can cause oxidation and spoil flavor. Maintain humidity around 70-85% if possible to protect cork integrity and reduce evaporation.
Avoid temperature fluctuations and vibrations as they accelerate maturation and can disrupt bubbles which is crucial for champagne quality. Store the bottle in a draft-free stable environment away from heat sources or appliances causing vibrations.
For an opened bottle reseal it with a vacuum champagne stopper to retain carbonation and prevent oxidation. Store the opened bottle upright in the refrigerator at around 4-7°C to minimize surface area exposure and slow degradation. Consume within 3-5 days for optimal freshness.
No unusual or special storage practices beyond these apply specifically for Champagne Rosé versus other champagnes.
