NV Robert Moncuit "Les Grands Blancs" Grand Cru, Extra-Brut, Champagne, FranceABOUT THIS WINE Disgorged in May 2024 with zero dosage, Moncuit's NV Extra Brut Grand Cru Les Grands Blancs is the latest rendition of the cuve that formerly simply bore the name Blanc de Blancs. Derived from the 2020 and 2021 vintages. Robert Moncuit's NV Blanc de Blancs is sourced from parcels of Chardonnay located in the villages of Mesnil and Oger. It is around 80% of its base vintage and 20% reserve wine from the preceding vintage. Winemaker

working closely with the growers to farm the fruit to his own exacting standards

an emblematic appellation of the Bordeaux region

The "Mont" provides 360-degree exposure

and sulfur is only added at bottling if needed

the flint rocks in the vineyard slowly cool in the night
