Description
Winemaker Notes
Founded in 1785 by Florens-Louis Heidsieck, Heidsieck & Co Monopole is the original Heidsieck House and the 4th oldest Champagne House. In 1834, after several disagreements, his three nephews went their separate ways. One of them, Henri-Louis Walbaum continued the business alone and established the trademark ‘Monopole’ in 1860. The Heidsieck & Co House reflects the legacy of Champagne. Still evocative of that era, Heidsieck cuvées blend the modern world and traditional savoir-faire with the same passion.
Heidsieck & Co Monopole has a close history with governments of Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries. The house received royal warrants from the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Germany in 1818. It was later the patented supplier of Tsar Nicolas II of Russia in 1907. It also became the official champagne supplier of the British Crown in 1911 as well as well as the Swedish Crown with King Gustav in 1933.
