HEIDSIECK & CO MONOPOLE BLUE TOP CHAMPAGNE BRUT NV

Winery notes (NV)
"Fruit, primarily yellow fruits, and particularly peach, predominate at the initial tasting. However, there are also aromas of stewed fruits, with a hint of honey. Not to mention floral notes with white flowers offering a foretaste of the lightness of the wine. These are clearly generous and persistent aromas and promise a highly aromatic vintage. Its primary aromas are of fruit, not just fresh fruit, but also candied fruits.

The promise of the aromas in the nose is more than delivered by a round mouth, a subtle attack and good length. The mouth, like the nose, is dominated by fruit – peaches, cherry plums, and then oranges. Freshness, elegance and delicacy emerge gently throughout the entire tasting. It is very pleasant on the palate.

This vintage is balanced, pleasant, ‘approachable’, so to speak. Apart from being particularly good as an aperitif, it can also be served with shellfish and Asian cuisine."

4 ½ Stars & Top 10 Cuisine Champagne Tasting, November 2024 (NV)
"Verging on gold in the glass with lots of apple, citrus and white florals alongside richer honey and dough aromas on the nose. The palate is juicy with crunchy fresh apple flavours and a juicy acid activated in the mid palate that drives the wine through to its finish."
