Little Charles grew up among'grapes, loved by his mother, Emilie Henriot, and his sisters, in a family governed by the traditions of Reims and Prussian rigor.
Educated, he stands out for his integrity and elegance.
Becoming twenty-nine, Charles took his destiny into his own hands and founded a Maison in his own image. His boldness, adventures and the fame of his wines would make him a legend of his time.
His distinctive aesthetic choices made the Maison unique and renowned among all, or as they used to say: Typiquement Charles.
Charles was the cornerstone of a distinguished lineage.

In 2011, the Descours family took over the Maison with the'goal of securing its international reputation.
Description
Rosé Réserve is the result of a meticulous attention and is distinguished by its unconventional character. Rosé Réserve is also the result of first-press juices and the wine benefits from a slow and long maturation of 3 to 4 years, well beyond the norms of the region.
Organoleptic characteristics:
A sophisticated powder pink robe with luminous rosehip highlights. The delicate and lively bubbles are the result of an aging period of over 48 months.
The subtle, yet complex nose reveals the first fragrances of homemade strawberry jam mixed with the fruitiness of vineyard peaches. Warm velvety notes of gingerbread.
The deep, powerful mouthfeel offers an explosion of strawberry, raspberry and blackberry bathed in velvety whipped cream.
Storage time:
2-3 years
Vinification
First alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, addition of pinot noir processed in red (6%) and malolactic fermentation completely carried out, then refermentation in bottle according to the champenoise method
