Paying homage to his historic cellars, Charles Heidsieck unveils its greatest treasure to œnophiles through a Collection called “Crayères”. Just like an old tome where every page recounts dazzling quests, an œnothèque of staggering vintages is to be revealed in a first edition of five incredible cuvées.
Time, like a “fourth varietal”, has crafted the soul of the wines in the Crayères Collection. Extended ageing on lees has unlocked the full potential of their aromas. Each vintage has its own signature, its own generous tone. Rooted in the highest standards and precise construction, all promise to deliver a harmonious combination of avours.
Selectively released, whosoever is lucky enough to enjoy these precious jewels can boast of experiencing the dream of travelling through time.

Golden color with delicate bubbles. There is a touch of wood upon opening with earthy notes of truffles and forest undergrowth. The Crayeres 1990 develops in glass with aromas of tobacco, candied quince, nougat and caramel, followed by chestnut and spices. The mouthfeel is opulent, rich and creamy with the vintage’s characteristic warmth at the finish.
