ROBERT MONCUIT MILLESIME 2015

Style: Rocks & Minerals

A fifth generation estate from Mesnil in the classic region of Champagne and established in 1889. In 1928 Robert Moncuit, Alex¿s grandson, created the first cuvée and estate bottled champagne. In 1987 Robert¿s daughter Francoise took over the estate after the passing of her father, she passed the reins onto her son Pierre Amillet in 2000, Pierre is in charge of everything today. Fruit is all hand harvested and hand sorted, and each parcel of vines is vinified separately to optimize the outcome of the blending. This is a true artisan estate and one which true afficinados of Champagne should have on their list to source. IMPORTER NOTES

From the domaine's oldest Grand Cru Chardonnay vines from Mesnil, excluding the Chetillons parcels. Fermented in 350 liters oak barrels (10 months on lees without stirring) and aged on lees for 6 years. Unfiltered, no dosage, disgorged in October 2022. The time on lees helps to preserve the precision and minerality that Mesnil is capable of. Layered, textured, biscuity and dry finished marked by intensity and long lingering finishing. HALLES AUX VINS - Importer
