Heidsieck & Co Monopole

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Heidsieck Monopole is a champagne house located in the Champagne region of France. It was founded in 1785 by Florens-Louis Heidsieck. Today, Hiedsieck is owned by the Vranken company (located in Epernay), who also have Pommery and Demoisielle in their portfolio. The champagne has a lot of pinot noir in the standard cuvée which makes it a little bit heavier in its style.

[edit] 1907 vintage

In 1998, the Hiedsieck cuvée called Diamant bleu vintage 1907 was found in a shipwreck in the Gulf of Finland of a carrier ship charted by the Imperial Court of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. The ship was torpedoed in 1916 by a German sub during World War I and a majority of the bottles survived in the frigid waters.^[1] About 2000 bottles were salvaged from the ship and have been sold at auctions all over the world as a historic novelty.
