Heidsieck & Co Monopole NV Blue Top Premier Cru Sparkling

Price $39

Impressively fine bubbles cascade up from the bottom of the glass, suggesting richness and elegance. There’s a lush creaminess in the mouth, packed with flavors of candied orange, apricot and pineapple. The wine scores a flavor bulls eye in every possible way, from the textured, enticing bouquet to the rich, mouth-filling fruit and on through the lingering, precise… — P.G. (12/1/2006)

Heidsieck & Co Monopole NV Extra Dry Sparkling

Price $32

Big, full-bodied and creamy, this slightly sweet Champagne seems a slightly heavy, with buttered apple and spice notes that pick up toasty nuances on the finish. — J.C. (12/1/2004)

Heidsieck & Co Monopole NV Diamant Blanc Sparkling

Price $100

Strong-willed and forward, with a mild sherry note but mostly fresh apple fruit as its driving force. Green apple and citrus dominate the palate, which is a bit aggressive and soda-like. Big and toasty late, with even more spunk. A rambunctious wine. Imported by Vranken America. — M.S. (12/31/2005)

Heidsieck & Co Monopole 1989 Diamant Bleu Sparkling

Price $70

Really fine for a low-acid vintage, there’s an intriguing nose here with white pepper, sandalwood and pine-nut elements. There are mature notes to the apple, toast and pepper flavors, good backbone, and the texture is just lovely. This well-developed example still has youthful elements, and closes with a grapefruit-mineral finish that is both relaxed and complex. — M.M. (12/31/2000)

Heidsieck & Co Monopole 1995 Diamant Bleu Pinot-Chardonnay

Price $130

This is Heidsieck Monopole's aperitif Champagne. Still young, it is light, crisp, dry and fruity, with flavors of the maturing Pinot Noir and the fresh, yeasty Chardonnay. It is in great balance now, a lively eager wine, ready to please. — R.V. (12/1/2004)

Heidsieck & Co Monopole 1995 Diamant Bleu Sparkling

Price $120

Toasty and rich-smelling, like brioche, but it isn’t one-dimensional, as it picks up fruitier notes of apple and citrus. Ends on a chalky note. Imported by Vranken America. — J.C. (12/1/2005)

points

Heidsieck & Co Monopole NV Diamant Blanc Chardonnay

Price $100

Leads off with dusty aromas of crushed limestone blended with apple and citrus fruit. Flavors are richly yeasty and medium weight, picking up coconut nuances on the finish. — J.C. (12/1/2004)

points

Heidsieck & Co Monopole 1998 Diamant Rosé Sparkling

Price $130

Overt and round, with chunky aromas of berries and stone fruits. Quite lively and zesty, with purity of flavors. Is it a touch limited in scope and complexity? Yes. But the nectarine and orange flavors are crystalline and the mouthfeel rocks. Imported by Vranken America. — M.S. (12/15/2005)
