Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne Blanc de Blancs Hugues de Coulmet Brut by Pierre Moncuit precisely expresses the character of its terroir. Crafted using the Traditional Method, it matures in the cellar, acquiring a defined aromatic profile and a fine perlage. In the glass, it displays a straw yellow colour with golden highlights, a prelude to a bouquet reminiscent of white flowers, such as lily and jasmine, accompanied by notes of peach. On the palate, it offers a pleasant roundness, maintaining a crisp drinkability thanks to a Brut dosage that leads to a clean and persistent finish.
Where it comes from
The roots of this cuvée lie in the renowned Champagne region, with a privileged connection to Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. The vineyards of Maison Pierre Moncuit are managed with sustainable practices and cover around twenty hectares. The estate includes plots classified as Grand Cru, alongside vines in the Sézanne area. This diversity of soil and climate gives the wine a distinct identity, enhancing the structure and elegance of the Chardonnay through a high-level territorial expression.
How it is produced

Praised by international critics, this wine has excellent potential for ageing over time. Its versatility makes it ideal for accompanying an entire meal. It pairs excellently with seafood starters, shellfish and fine fish, and also enhances the flavour of cheeses thanks to its remarkable structural balance.
