This is a very clean, light-to-medium style Champagne with green apple and nutty aromas.  In the mouth, it has honey and bread dough notes.  Nice bubbly at this price.

28 February 2011 Heidsieck & Co Monopole Champagne Blue Top Brut

Heidsieck & Co Monopole Champagne Blue Top Brut

Celebrated with this bubbly over the weekend and just loved everything about it.  The Heidsieck & Co Monopole Blue Top Champagne Brut is the color of oats in the glass with a nose that’s both yeasty and pear-infused.  On the palate, it’s what Champagne should be: creamy, mousse-like with tiny bubbles that coat the mouth and provide a dry, long finish.

At this price point, forgo the Yellow Label for this little gem.

Wine Spectator 91 points.

Around $40.
