Pierre Moncuit Champagne Brut Rose Grand Cru "Henriette" NV
(Champagne, France) - [VM 93] [JS 93]

About the Winery:

In 1889 Pierre Moncuit and his wife, Odile Moncuit-Delos, established the house of Champagne Pierre Moncuit. Since 1977, Nicole Moncuit has managed the vineyards and made the wine, while her brother Yves has managed the sales. More recently, Nicole’s daughter Valérie has been actively assisting in the cellar. Mesnil lies smack in the middle of the Côte des Blancs and is its most celebrated village. The wines of Mesnil are known above all for steely elegance and minerality, and those from chez Pierre Moncuit—which has some of the oldest vines along the entire Côte—superbly reflect these qualities.

The Moncuit siblings own 15 hectares of vines surrounding Mesnil, mostly old vines that average 30 years of age. Their high percentage of old rootstock is a rarity in Champagne, where vines are routinely replanted once they reach their 25th birthday.

Always from a single vintage and aged up to 36 months sur lattes.  2018 base vintage.  Dosage 8 g/L; Disgorgement March 2025

This blend of 90% Chardonnay from 40+ year old vines in the Grand Cru of Le Mesnil and 10% Grand Cru Pinot vines from Bouzy is on the delicate, pretty end of the Rosé Champagne spectrum.

1,000 cases made.
