Pierre Moncuit - 2014 - Moncuit Mesnil Oger Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut (750ml) - 750 ml.

Subregion: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger / Côte des Blancs

Moncuit Mesnil Oger Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut is a focused, mineral-driven Champagne from the famed Le Mesnil‑sur‑Oger in the Côte des Blancs. Crafted exclusively from Grand Cru Chardonnay, this Blanc de Blancs displays the hallmark traits of Mesnil fruit: bright, high-toned citrus (lemon zest, green apple, bergamot) layered over pronounced chalk and crushed-stone minerality. The Extra Brut dosage keeps sweetness to a minimum, emphasizing salinity and angular clarity rather than fruity richness. On the palate the mousse is fine and persistent, lifting an incisive line of acidity that balances an oyster-shell saline note and subtle brioche that comes from extended lees ageing typical of quality Champagne. At 750ml, this bottle is equally at home as a refined aperitif, an elevated companion to shellfish, sushi, or soft cheeses, and an excellent match for contrasting textures like fried chicken. Moncuit’s Mesnil Blanc de Blancs is built for drinkers who seek terroir expression and precision: elegant, mineral, and ageworthy when stored correctly. Because it originates from Le Mesnil‑sur‑Oger Grand Cru—one of the Côte des Blancs’ most esteemed villages—this Extra Brut offers a crystalline expression of Chardonnay that reads as both pure and layered, delivering immediate pleasure and the structure to evolve with cellaring. For collectors and diners seeking a restrained Champagne with real place-driven personality, this Moncuit Mesnil Oger Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut is a distinguished choice.
