Hi,

Was just mooching and found this review of Heidseck Monopole Blue Top. Well, I’ve just bought a case of the stuff. Partly because I like Champagne, and partly because I like Monopole, but mostly because I was offered a dozen bottles at a price that meant I’d be crazy not to invest in a whole load of the stuff.

However, I live in the UK – London, to be precise – and Monopole is quite a popular bubbly here. It has a robust, but easy going quality that makes it one of those bottles that people appreciate and it is a name (together with Lanson, Piper-Heidseck, Nicholas Fuillatte, Perrier Jouet, Laurent Perrier and a couple of others) that inspires confidence and always gets a look of approval when pulled out of the fridge.

I’ve also had the privilege of hosting a meal with friends when in Paris and Monopole was brought round in abundance there. You can’t get much more of a vote of confidence than that!

If you get a chance, do try comparing a few different of those mentioned above and see what you think.

Thanks for the post. I love champagne! In fact, I just suggested giving champagne as a gift on my blog. Now I know I’m not alone in my thought
