Robert Moncuit Champagne "Les Grands Blancs" Extra Brut, N/V

The Moncuit roots run deep in the Côte des Blancs. The family first purchased land back in 1889 and began estate-bottling almost 40 years later. Current winemaker and fourth-generation Pierre Amillet’s passion for Chardonnay and the region’s signature chalky soils knows no limits. This barrel fermented Blanc de Blancs is aged under cork before disgorgement and sees no dosage. Dry, toasty, and textured, this bottle screams luxury.

Robert Moncuit's NV Blanc de Blancs is sourced from parcels of Chardonnay located in the villages of Mesnil and Oger. It is around 80% of its base vintage and 20% reserve wine from the preceding vintage.

Winemaker Pierre Amillet's vinification style is consistent across all of his wines. He uses a combination of neutral oak and stainless steel in order to preserve the minerality and focus that Chardonnay grown in chalk can have. Around 80% of this release’s base vintage was raised in used oak while only 20% of reserve wine was. The dosage is 5 grams per liter.
