Pierre Moncuit
Pierre Moncuit and his wife Odile Moncuit-Delos started growing grapes in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the middle of the 20th century. Today, their children are responsible for the winery: daughter Nicole as winemaker and son Yves for marketing.
The vineyard covers 15 hectares: 20 plots in Le Mesnil and 5 hectares in Sézanne. The wines from both areas are always vinified separately. The grapes from Sézanne are used for the entry-level cuvée Hugues de Coulmet, the grapes from Mesnil for all other champagnes.
Nicole Moncuit produces each wine from a single vintage - without using reserve wines. The aim is to emphasise typicity and terroir as much as possible. For the same reason, fermentation takes place exclusively in stainless steel tanks. Due to the high acidity typical of Le Mesnil, malolactic fermentation is carried out.
The result is precise, straightforward and elegant wines that are very harmonious and charming. They are at their best when they reach a certain level of maturity: with plenty of mellowness, depth and complexity. In 2018, Moncuit began sustainable viticulture in accordance with the HVE (High Environmental Value) standard, but has always endeavoured to use as few pesticides as possible in the vineyard and to cultivate the soil as sustainably as possible.

The second cuvée from the Moncuit domaine is produced solely using wines from the Le Mesnil sur Oger vineyard.

Bright and full of energy and sizzles with tension. Lemon peel, white flowers, mint and white pepper are all beautifully lifted. The Extra Brut really comes alive with a bit of time in the glass. It's a style that works so well at Moncuit.

Pierre Moncuit Brut Rosé Henriette
85% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Noir Dosage: 7g/l Pierre Moncuit is famous for its Blanc de Blancs but it also produces an excellent Rosé. The grapes are from Le Mesnil (Chardonnay) and Ambonnay (Pinot Noir). The color is very light which is preferred by the family: “It's very easy to drink it in the afternoon instead of a cup of tea.“ says Nicole Moncuit and we agree! :) Nicola OCT23: Fine berries, mineral, elegant, very slightly dark note, which also makes it distinctive and somewhat full of character. This makes it also suitable as a meal companion! David OCT23: red berries and generous at the first impression, elegant and fresh vinosity, earthy persistent

Pierre Moncuit Millésime 2014 Extra Brut
100% Chardonnay, Grand Cru About 10 years bottle aging Dosage: 3g/l Tasting Nicola FEB23 (vintage 2012): Straightforward with creamy generosity, fresh with hints of brioche (will intensify with increasing maturity), very fine, elegant and at the same time powerful and extremely harmonious, balanced. Strong, already gives a lot of pleasure. No wonder it has matured for about 10 years and comes from one of the most sought-after Grand Cru locations in Champagne: le Mesnil sur Oger. Nicola OCT23 (vintage 2012): Now opens up slowly and gets the beautifully ripe, nutty flavor. Very profound, rich in finesse, elegant, long nutty finish, great combination with the freshness of 2012.
