Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne Pierre Moncuit Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Delos Extra Brut is made from Chardonnay grapes crafted according to the strict Traditional Method. In the glass, the Champagne displays a straw yellow colour enhanced by golden highlights, animated by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it reveals a fruity bouquet that harmoniously blends with notes of bread crust and pastry. On the palate, the taste stands out for its mineral freshness, offering a vibrant sip and a long-lasting finish.
Where it comes from
The origin of this label is rooted in France, in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, at the heart of the renowned Côte des Blancs. The Pierre Moncuit winery operates as an independent winegrower, managing around twenty hectares of vineyards planted entirely with Chardonnay. The properties extend across prestigious classified plots, Premier Cru areas and land in Sézanne, also including an exclusive Clos. This deep territorial dedication allows for an extremely faithful interpretation of Chardonnay, resulting in a Grand Cru Champagne capable of reflecting its terroir with elegance and precision of flavour.
How it is produced
Production follows the principles of the Traditional Method, with meticulous bottle fermentation that encourages the development of fine and consistent bubbles. At the end of the process, an Extra Brut dosage is applied, kept around 3 g/l. This technical choice aims to ensure a clean organoleptic profile, designed to enhance the balance between fruity notes and delicate pastry hints. The wine thus expresses a linear structure, characterised by a dry sip and a pronounced persistence.
