Charles Heidsieck “The Soul of Charles”
EPI Group · 29 September 2026 · North America
Summary
Charles Heidsieck's 175th-anniversary cuvée blends 37 wines from 1937 to 2020 — ten decades of the House's history in a single bottle. Presented exclusively in 3L jeroboam, strictly 175 units at $2,000 each, with the label reviving the House's 1866 Champagne Cosmopolite design. US allocation is handled exclusively through noblemerchants.com from autumn 2026.
Why it matters
Ultra-limited anniversary cuvées have become Champagne's primary vehicle for ultra-premium price anchoring — at $2,000 and 175 bottles, this is a collector artifact that lifts the ceiling for the entire prestige Champagne tier.
Rationale
Tagged Occasion for turning a 175th anniversary into a collectible milestone bottle — a single jeroboam release designed as an occasion-worthy artifact rather than an everyday drinking Champagne.
