Charles is a confirmed traveller and free-spirited, smooth-talking gentleman entrepreneur, focused on his champagne business. His champagnes embody his personality: emblematic and unique. At 29 years old, Charles took his destiny in hand and founded a House in his image. His audacity, adventures and the renown of his wines would make him a legend in his time. His ambitions served to guide his descendants over the centuries. In 2011, the Descours family took over the House with the aim of ensuring its international renown.

Over the past two decades – and not less than 12 times in only those 20 years – the Charles Heidsieck Cellar Masters have been awarded the prestigious title of “Best Sparkling Winemaker of the Year” at the London International Wine Challenge. Their immense expertise and talent has brought them international renown.

In line with the Champagne tradition, the House owns and cultivates a vineyard of 85 hectares in the Marne and Aube departments. Since December 2015, the vineyards boast the “Sustainable Viticulture” label with “HVE” (High Environmental Value).
