Pierre Moncuit Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut NV (375ml)

For over a century, the Moncuit family has crafted some of the most classically styled Blanc de Blancs in Champagne, working exclusively with Grand Cru Chardonnay from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Under the leadership of Nicole Moncuit and her daughter Valérie, the estate follows a single-harvest approach for its non-vintage wines, focusing on transparency and terroir expression rather than blending reserve wines. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel to preserve freshness, and the wine is aged extensively on the lees before bottling with a modest dosage, ensuring a balance of richness and precision.

This half-bottle format perfectly encapsulates Moncuit’s signature style—elegant, mineral-driven, and vibrantly expressive. Aromas of white flowers, lemon zest, and crushed seashells lead into a palate of crisp green apple, pear, and a delicate touch of brioche. The chalky terroir of Le Mesnil lends remarkable tension and finesse, while extended lees aging contributes depth and a fine, creamy mousse.

Linear and refreshing, with a long, mineral-infused finish, this is an ideal aperitif Champagne but has the structure to shine with food. Its bright acidity and saline backbone make it a natural match for oysters, gougères, or a simple plate of sashimi, highlighting the purity and elegance that define Moncuit’s wines.
