Pierre Moncuit’s Champagne “Delos” Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru NV is a beautifully crafted expression of Chardonnay from the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs. Known for its chalk-rich soils, Le Mesnil imparts a signature minerality and elegance to this Blanc de Blancs. The Brut dosage is carefully calibrated to balance the wine’s natural acidity, allowing the pure fruit and terroir-driven characteristics to shine through while enhancing its accessibility.

On the nose, “Delos” reveals aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and white flowers, complemented by subtle notes of almond, chalk, and a hint of brioche from extended lees aging. The palate is vibrant and precise, with flavors of citrus, orchard fruits, and a pronounced chalky minerality, reflecting its Grand Cru origins. The fine, creamy mousse adds texture, while the Brut finish is crisp and refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of purity and finesse.

This Champagne pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, creamy cheeses, or delicate poultry dishes, making it versatile for both casual and celebratory occasions. With youthful energy and clarity, Pierre Moncuit’s “Delos” Brut Blanc de Blancs is a sophisticated choice for those who appreciate the elegance and mineral depth of Grand Cru Chardonnay from one of Champagne’s most esteemed villages.

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 and business side of things. More recently, Nicole’s daughter Valerie has been actively assisting in the cellar.

The majority of Moncuit’s vines are 50 years or older, and two parcels are just shy of their 100th birthday. In a region known for replanting vines before they reach their 30's to ensure more vigorous production, these old vines represent a rare commitment to farming and tradition.

Their focus in the cellar is to bring out the purity of fruit and minerality of the soils without too much intervention. To achieve this, no wood is used during elevage but the wines are allowed to go to malolactic fermentation.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
