Heidsieck & Co. Monopole Champagne Blue Top Brut Premier Cru

750ML
Sku: 065955

Tasting notes

Pinot noir is the backbone of this house; the composition here is 70 percent pinot noir, 20 percent chardonnay and 10 percent pinot meunier. We’re not talking about utter refinement or elegance in this Champagne; rather, it makes its point by assertive substance and presence. The color is pale gold; seemingly billions of teeny-tiny bubbles course upward in a twisting fountain. The effect of “Blue Top” is very toasty and yeasty, and the bouquet offers notes of pears and roasted lemon, almond peel and almond blossom and a winsome note of honeysuckle and hazelnuts. Minerality comes right up behind, and in the mouth this crisp, dry Champagne practically balloons with crystalline acidity, rampant limestone and chalk and immense reserves of spice, as in spiced citrus flavors, spice cake and a final touch of grapefruit baked with brown sugar and cloves.

Review

"Candied apple character, with a hint of red berry and a refined texture, mark this elegant, medium-bodied bubbly, which is fresh, with a moderate finish. Drink now."
- Wine Spectator

70% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay and 10% Meunier.

Wine maker notes

Yellow color with gold highlights. Fine bubbles and creamy mousse. Strong and generous nose. Slightly woody. Round mouth feel and a lingering finish.
Champagne Heidsieck & Co Monopole Premiers Crus is ideal as a gift, an aperitif, and combines also very harmoniously with white meat
