There was never a doubt in our minds that Charles Heidsieck and its Chef de Caves, Cyril Brun, would shake things up from time to time! For the second time since 2019 (and the 14th+ time for the Maison), the most coveted award, Best Sparkling Winemaker of the Year, was awarded to Cyril at International Wine Challenge 2022! This is one of the world’s most prestigious and influential wine competitions (and meticulously judged) and Charles Heidsieck, with Cyril Brun, effortlessly shines at the top.
What special achievement for them this year as it is also the champagne house's bicentennial anniversary of Charles-Camille Heidsieck’s birth! Having such an accolade only solidifies the fact that they are a true beacon of exceptional quality and unique style.
On top of ALL THIS, Charles Heidsieck just announced that they have achieved B Corp certification status with the score of 91.9 points! This is HUGE news as this establishes the champagne winery's continued commitment to a positive social and environmental impact. B Corp certification is one of the most demanding in the market, assessing the producer's practices and continuous improvements within production, team management, governance, sustainability, communities and the environment. To learn more about B Lab and B Corp certification, you can visit their website.
In order to mark such a momentous occasion, Wine Please! has a small parcel of their limited edition Champagne Charlie, Brut Réserve (Collector’s Bottle) as well as Blanc des Millénaires 2007 to share with our community. And this is why we are one of the best online wine shops in Hong Kong! :)
Drink up, everyone! Santé!
