Pierre Moncuit Blanc de Blanc Grand Cru Brut (75cl, 12%)

A 100% Chardonnay Champagne from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, bottled at 12% ABV. Pierre Moncuit is a family-run grower-producer based in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The house bottles from a single vintage each year using - wines. Vinification takes place entirely in stainless steel with full malolactic fermentation, and the wine ages on its lees for a minimum of three years before disgorgement, followed by an additional three months of post-disgorgement rest. The nose opens with lemon confit and fresh green apple, evolving into chalky minerality and subtle brioche, with delicate floral hints and a whisper of green tea. The palate is lean and focused, with racy acidity carrying juicy lemon, Asian pear and quince blossom, then ginger and slivered almond alongside tangy orange, framed by a fine, lacy mousse. The finish is long and taut, driven by persistent oystershell minerality and lingering citrus peel, with a gentle brioche note.
