Pierre Moncuit Brut Rose GC [2017]

A very Parisian choice. The Chardonnay comes from the Grand Cru holdings in Les Mesnil from vines that average 40+ years. The Pinot Noir is sourced from Grand Cru sites in Ambonnay. The soils are southeast-facing, chalk based soils. All the grapes are harvested by hand and all wines are vinified in stainless steel. Wine goes through full malolactic fermentation. Then, 75% Le Mesnil Chardonnay champagne is blended with 25% still Pinot Noir from Grand Cru vineyards in Ambonnay. 8 g/L dosage.

Champagne Pierre Moncuit is one of the great defenders of a style of Champagne that emphasizes the expression of terroir in the finished wines. For that reason, the wines from different villages are never blended (except in the case of the Brut Rosé). Ideal wines to drink right out of the blocks, while still retaining all of the structural integrity necessary to age beautifully for years to come. (Importer)
