Champagne Charles Heidsieck is a prestigious Champagne house founded in 1851 in Reims, France, by Charles-Camille Heidsieck, famously known as “Champagne Charlie”. He was a pioneer in popularizing Champagne in the United States during the 19th century, earning a strong reputation thanks to his entrepreneurial spirit and charisma. The house is renowned for its historic cellars, known as “crayères” - ancient chalk caves dating back to Roman times - which provide ideal conditions for aging Champagne.
