Pierre Moncuit: The Excellence of Grand Cru Chardonnay in Mesnil-sur-Oger
Established since 1889 in the heart of the prestigious Côte des Blancs, Maison Pierre Moncuit perfectly embodies the expertise of a grower-producer through its Blanc de Blancs Champagnes of crystalline purity. It is on the legendary terroir of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger—classified as a Grand Cru and world-renowned for the minerality of its chalky soils—that the family crafts cuvées of such consistency and elegance that they are celebrated by the most prestigious guides.
Today, the estate is firmly rooted in its history thanks to the complementary partnership between Nicole Moncuit, who has been orchestrating the winemaking process with masterful precision since 1977, and her brother Yves, who oversees the business side of the operation. Joined by Valérie, Nicole’s daughter, they uphold a rigorous and environmentally conscious winemaking philosophy, aiming to let the terroir fully express itself in every bottle.
The 20-hectare vineyard, located primarily in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, gives pride of place to old vines, some of which are over 50 years old. With the exception of their exclusive and delicate Brut Rosé, the range is an ode to Chardonnay. Here, malolactic fermentation is not systematically halted, but rather there is a constant pursuit of maturity and balance, resulting in non-dosage or lightly dosed champagnes that shine with their natural freshness and integrity.
It is a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir, a red wine from Ambonnay from terroirs all classified Grand Cru.
The robe is a delicate pale pink.
On the nose: an explosion of red berries such as raspberry or wild strawberry.
The palate is light and rich with the scent of red berries.
Magnificent as an aperitif but also with fruit cups and sabayons.
To be served between 8 and 10° C.
