Pierre Moncuit’s Champagne Brut Rosé Grand Cru “Henriette” NV, with a base of 2019, is a refined and distinctive rosé Champagne that celebrates the Grand Cru terroir of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs. This cuvée is named in honor of Henriette Moncuit, and it blends Chardonnay with a small amount of still red Pinot Noir from the Grand Cru village of Bouzy, known for its powerful and expressive Pinot Noir. This unique combination brings both the elegance of Chardonnay and the depth of Pinot Noir, all accentuated by a Brut dosage that maintains the wine’s freshness and vibrancy.

On the nose, “Henriette” opens with enticing aromas of wild strawberry, red currant, and raspberry, accompanied by floral notes and a hint of citrus. The palate is both refined and lively, offering flavors of red berries, blood orange, and a delicate chalky minerality that speaks to its Grand Cru origins. A fine, creamy mousse enhances the wine’s texture, while the Brut finish leaves a refreshing, clean impression with a hint of salinity and structure.

This Champagne pairs beautifully with a range of dishes, from charcuterie and duck breast to creamy cheeses and seafood. The 2019 base lends a youthful brightness and clarity, making Pierre Moncuit’s Brut Rosé Grand Cru “Henriette” an excellent choice for those who appreciate a rosé Champagne with elegance, depth, and a tribute to tradition.
