Pierre Moncuit, a family-owned Champagne house, is renowned for its dedication to Chardonnay and the expression of the Grand Cru terroir of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut NV highlights the minerality, elegance, and depth characteristic of this exceptional village.
- WINEMAKER: Rodolphe Moncuit
- FARMING: Sustainable viticulture
- VARIETY: 100% Chardonnay
-
TERROIR:
- Sourced exclusively from the Grand Cru vineyards of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, where the chalky soils provide exceptional minerality and precision to the wines.
- Vines are carefully managed to maximize fruit concentration and purity.
-
VINIFICATION:
- Hand-harvested grapes are gently pressed.
- Fermentation occurs in stainless steel to preserve freshness and the pure expression of Chardonnay.
- Full malolactic fermentation enhances texture and richness.
- AGING: Aged on lees for an extended period, enhancing complexity and finesse.
- DOSAGE: Brut, 9 g/L
-
TASTING NOTES:
- Aromas of chalk, baked bread, green apple, pear, and a touch of exotic pineapple.
- The palate is vibrant and layered, with flavors of grapefruit, lemon oil, and a creamy texture. A precise minerality and an elegant mousse lead to a clean, crisp, and slightly austere finish.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Perfect with fresh oysters, crab, lobster, or creamy cheeses like Chaource or triple cream Brie.
-
SCORES:
- Vinous (Antonio Galloni): 93 points – "The NV (2010) Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Delos is a little richer, rounder, and creamier... loaded with depth and personality."
- Burghound (Allen Meadows): 93 points – "A complex, strikingly elegant and airy nose... delicious flavors with a moderately exuberant mousse and a clean, refreshing, and persistent finish."
- Wine & Spirits: 92 points – "Creamery butter scents lend richness... malolactic notes add to the length of flavor without masking its precision. Feminine delicacy in its mousse."
