Pierre Moncuit 2005 "Cuvèe Nicole" Vielle Vigne Extra Brut Champagne

 Pierre Moncuit GC 2005 Cuvee Nicole Old Vines **Chetillons** Old Vine Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil Sur Oger - 2005 Late Release

From 90 year old vines: Chetillons! The nose shows buttercream, citrus, stone fruits, white stone minerality and a light buttered croissant aroma set. The palate is light with moderate acid, a clean crisp palate with minerals, light buttered scone, orange marmalade, and light nut. D&M Tasting Notes

"The 2005 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Cuvée Nicole is a very impressive wine, especially within the context of the year. Here, too, 100-year-old vines yield a Champagne of real power, depth and resonance, with none of the awkward notes that afflict so many other Champagnes in this vintage. Deep, vinous and super-expressive, the 2005 has so much to offer. Orange peel, hazelnut, spice, vanillin, mint and apricot infuse the 2005 with tons of character. The 7 grams of dosage works beautifully here. This is one of the very best Champagnes I have ever tasted from Moncuit. The 2005 just oozes with Mesnil class. Readers will find a Champagne that delivers superb quality for the price for a wine that offers tons of complexity and pedigree. Dosage: 7 gr/L. Disgorged: December, 2016." 94 Points VINOUS MEDIA
