Pierre Moncuit Grand Cru Brut Rose Champagne

Grower Champagne  In the style of the Blanc de Blanc houses, this shows light notes of cream and strawberry sitting on a beam of minerality. The palate is focused mineral laden with just there boysenberry-strawberry and cream. 

Nicole and Yves Moncuit have guided this excellent domaine, located in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, since they took over from their father Pierre in 1977. Nicole, the winemaker and grower, and Yves, in charge of the commercial side, are the latest generation in a line of vignerons that stems back more than a century. The Moncuit siblings own fifteen hectares of vines surrounding Mesnil, mostly old vines that average thirty years of age. Their high percentage of old rootstock is a rarity in Champagne, where vines are routinely replanted once they reach their twenty-fifth birthday.
