Established in 1785, Heidsieck & Co Monopole, the fifth oldest Champagne house in France and the makers of popular “Blue Top” Champagne. Today, Heidsieck is owned by the Vranken company, who also have Pommery and Demoiselle in their portfolio.
Name Heidsieck might be confusing because of Piper-Heidsieck and Charles Heidsieck, which are quite similar champagne names. Is there any connection between persons behind these names?
Heidsieck Monopole Blue Top has been produced from Pinot Noir 70%, Pinot Meunier 10% and Chardonnay 20% grapes. Amount or lack of chardonnay is visible in taste.
THE LOOK
Yellow bottle must be designed to attract younger friends of champagne. Also the size, 20cl, is convenient take-away gift.
Pale, some hints of straw color. Small bubbles all over the glass which disappear quite quickly
THE NOSE
Mild aroma, some fruits but extremely light for nose
THE TASTE
Nice but light and lackluster. Hopefully low fluite in champagne glasses used, did not affect to flavor.
