Pierre Moncuit Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Non Dose Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger 2006

This amazing parcel just arrived direct from France, and the 2006 is even more impressive! At 14 years since the harvest, this is really singing right now!!

Located in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger where grand cru chardonnay reigns supreme, Nicole Moncuit owns some of the oldest vines along the entire Cote with an average age of 45 years. For those in the know, Moncuit is a must-have for anyone serious about Blanc de Blancs. This tiny grower has officially hit superstar status and we can't keep these in stock whenever we get some.

The female winemaking touch is evident alongside the magic that happens in Mesnil with incredible precision and clear-cut minerality, gorgeous texture and a sense of effortless power. It spent almost 13 years on the lees, being disgorged in February of 2019 which gives this loads of puff pastry, brewers yeast, wild flowers and just incredible complexity and length. See Galloni's note below, but be sure to snag some while we have it at this fantastic price!

We all got our 6-pack... Holidays are coming!

PAIRING IDEAS: We’ll probably ALWAYS say fried chicken, but in this case, try an array of appetizers. Classic would be deviled eggs, smoked salmon bites, stuffed mushrooms, or mac and cheese bites! Roll ‘em in panko and fry them, why not?!

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: Check out "Artisans of the Wine" - a podcast by Hervé Deschamps, Cellar Master at Champagne House Perrier-Jouët. Pretty cool info to get you in the mood to drink bubbly!
