PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
Heidsieck & Co. was established in 1785 and is a Monopole; that is, it has total ownership and control of the vineyards from which it gets its grapes.

Today's offering is a blend of pinot noir, chardonnay, and pinot meunier and is a standard-bearer for NV Champagnes in the region. It is rich and round, with flavors of toasted, buttered brioche, candied apricots, and peaches and cream, with citrussy acidity and a lively mousse.
