Tasting Notes

Vinous 94

Moncuit’s Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Millesimé shows a different facet of its personality in this version, with lower dosage vis-à-vis the Brut version. Here the flavors are brighter and more sculpted throughout. Hints of toastiness, almond and tangerine oil add an exotic flair that makes the Extra Brut absolutely beguiling. Lower dosage seems to exalt the minerality and bright acids of the year, while pushing the fruit a bit into the background. Both Brut and Extra Brut bottlings are terrific; choosing among them comes down to personal preference. Dosage is grams per liter. Disgorged November 2020. Drinking window: 2020-2030. 94 points The Moncuit family makes consistently outstanding Champagnes but doesn’t seem to get much attention, and that’s really a shame. The core of the domaine’s holdings are in Mesnil. Readers will find terrific expressions of this Grand Cru village in the Delos and Vintage cuvées. The wines are all done in steel, with full malolactic fermentation, yet preserve tremendous cut, energy, and, most importantly, personality. [Antonio Galloni, 30/11/2019]

Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030

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.

    In the mouth that intensity is striking: there's a powerful impression of salty minerality, fat lemony fruit that fills the mid-palate, and real length and layered complexity.
