Tasting Notes

Vinous 94

The 2006 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Cuvée Nicole VV emerges from old vines in Les Chétillons, one of the most renowned lieu-dits in Mesnil. More of a wine than a Champagne, the VV possesses notable textural richness and gravitas, both of which build with a bit of time in the glass. This is a terrific choice for readers who enjoy Champagnes with the complexity that develops in bottle over time. (AG) Inner quote mark. Moncuit is one of those growers I never hear much about, and yet the wines are consistently outstanding and delicious. I tend to favor the entry-level wines, but only because they offer so much quality for the money, something that is increasingly hard to find in Champagne. The Delos Blanc de Blancs is one of the great values in Champagne. The wines are all done in tank, with full malolactic fermentation, and bottled with low dosage. [Antonio Galloni, 01/11/2021]

Producer Profile

Producer Profile

Pierre Moncuit

A consistent darling of the critics, the superb champagnes of Pierre Moncuit are currently overseen by Nicole Moncuit and her brother Yves. Established as recently as 1977, they have risen to the top rank among celebrated growers, their wines complex and age-worthy, and yet, at the same time, inviting, fleshy and offering masses of pleasure. A small house, it primarily produces fabulous Blanc de Blancs Champagne from Le Mesnil – one of only six 100% rated Grand Cru villages in the Cote de Blancs, home to the likes of Salon and Krug’s Clos du Mesnil, and where the Moncuits possess a number of fine Grand Cru vineyards, including the excellent and much-prized Les Chétillons. Much aligned with Antonio Galloni recent thoughts on terroir-driven wines from Champagne’s small producers, the Pierre Moncuit range is entirely estate grown, demonstrating that grower Champagnes can offer a level of individuality beyond the larger houses. 

Our Verdict:

We believe that in the very near future these wines are going to look like sensational values. Small, in the case of Pierre Moncuit, really is beautiful. Catch it while you can.

    2012 Telmont, Blanc de Blancs 3x150cl

    Its distinct buttery character is what strikes you first, followed by a faint sweet fruity nectar and a hint of nuttiness. With Blanc de Blancs, haste is a waste – take your time to let the... Champagne open up. The richness of its body is accentuated by delicate floral notes as well as peaches and other citrus fruits. The minerality and salinity add a savoury dimension to the Champagne.

    2008 Bollinger, RD 1x75cl

    VM96
    Enticing aromas of marzipan, stewed apricots, honey and breadcrumbs accompany fresh notes of bergamot. A rich, precise mousse. Citrus notes are followed by flavours of Mirabelle plums and vine... peaches. A very vivacious wine which unfolds to reveal exceptional complexity. Notes of fresh hazelnuts and salinity combine to create an intense, everlasting finish.
