Have a question about this wine or any other in this year's sale?

Pierre Moncuit’s Champagne Brut Rosé Grand Cru NV, with a base of 2019, is an elegant and expressive rosé Champagne crafted from Chardonnay and a touch of Pinot Noir sourced from the Grand Cru vineyards of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs. Known primarily for its exceptional Chardonnay, the addition of still Pinot Noir from Bouzy (another esteemed Grand Cru village) brings depth and a subtle red fruit character to this otherwise Chardonnay-driven rosé. The Brut dosage strikes a beautiful balance, enhancing the wine’s freshness and accessibility.

On the nose, this Rosé offers aromas of wild strawberries, red currants, and raspberry, layered with floral notes and a hint of citrus zest. The palate is lively and precise, with flavors of fresh red berries, blood orange, and a delicate chalky minerality, underscored by a fine, creamy mousse. The Brut finish is refreshing and clean, leaving a lingering impression of both brightness and subtle complexity.

This Champagne pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, from charcuterie and roasted salmon to light poultry dishes and soft cheeses, making it versatile for both casual gatherings and elegant occasions. The 2019 base lends youthful energy and clarity, making Pierre Moncuit’s Brut Rosé Grand Cru a sophisticated choice for those who enjoy a rosé Champagne with both finesse and a touch of fruit-forward charm.

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!
