I love champagne and I wouldn't push this one out of bed! Heidsieck is one of the oldest champagne houses in France and there is a reason why...they make good bubbly. The Monopole Blue Top is a great representation of the great champagne they produce, using 70% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Meunier grapes.
The Monopole has a lovely, delicate nose that is slightly smokey. The small bubbles dance across your tongue bringing with them subtle floral notes and a tart apple flavor. Every drink is well balanced, drawing you back for another sip.
At the price point, this isn't one of my every day drinkers, but if you've got a couple friends who can enjoy a nice glass of champagne, this is a good one to steer towards. You don't need a special occasion for bubbly, a simple Tuesday will do. Not just because Tuesday is sushi night (and this champagne does pair well with sushi), but because you've made it through the first part of your week, or maybe it's your "Friday" or maybe just because you wanna! What ever reason you have, take some time out and spoil yourself a little with this great bottle. Maybe with some fresh oysters, cold sushi or cheese and fruit.
