Blue top

Blue Top is the key cuvée of Heidsieck & Co Monopole. The blend leans on Pinot Noir at 70%, with 20% Chardonnay and 10% Meunier. In the glass this brut shows a straw-yellow colour with emerald-green reflections and a fine, well-integrated mousse. The nose is powerful and generous; on the palate it is lively and fresh, with citrus and fresh fruit. Added to that are woody, spicy, toasty and even buttery notes that give it richness and depth.

Serve it at 8 to 10°C in a tulip-shaped white wine glass, where the aromas unfold well. It works as an aperitif and accompanies white meat, fish, mussels and shellfish. The bottle comes in gift packaging.
