Pierre Moncuit
Grand Cru Delos Brut Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay
My first encounter with this Moncuit and it's safe to say that the quality here is at least as good as their more famed namesake (at least for me). On a side note, does anyone know if or how Pierre and Robert are related?
This juice is plain electric. Not viciously austere like some growers these days, but definitely lean. The nose is fresh, floral, and chalky. On the palate, it is airy yet quite punchy with the citrus and mineral notes. There's a sliver of biscuit and nuts in the lingering finish. Builds with more minerality as it opens up with air. Really enjoyed this wine with dinner. Superb value!

Zéro dosage. This rocks. Super precise, very sharp, aggressive. Fine mousse, very lively mouthfeel. Just a hint of oxidation. Citrus, peach, apricot. Bravo!
