Vintage 1985

The Last Champagne Charlie

Charles Heidsieck Champagne Charlie Brut 1985 · Champagne, France · tasted 11 July 2026

Made in just five vintages before the cuvée was mothballed, the 1985 is the last of the original Champagne Charlies. Forty years of gold in the glass — mushroom and caramel below, bergamot slicing through above.
