LIMITED QUANTITES

Pierre Moncuit’s Champagne “Delos” Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru NV, presented in an impressive 3L format, is a refined and terroir-focused expression of Chardonnay from the Grand Cru vineyards of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs. This cuvée captures the unique minerality and elegance of Le Mesnil’s chalk-rich soils, where Chardonnay thrives. The Brut dosage balances the wine’s natural acidity and minerality, providing both freshness and approachability.

On the nose, “Delos” reveals elegant aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and white peach, accompanied by delicate notes of almond, chalk, and a hint of brioche from extended lees aging. The palate is crisp and vibrant, showcasing flavors of lemon, orchard fruits, and a refined mineral character that reflects its Grand Cru origins. The fine, creamy mousse contributes to a smooth texture, while the Brut finish leaves a clean, refreshing impression with lingering hints of chalk and salinity.

Ideal for special occasions and celebratory gatherings, this 3L bottle format offers an opportunity for extended aging, which will further enhance the wine’s depth and complexity. “Delos” pairs beautifully with seafood, creamy dishes, or mild cheeses, allowing its bright fruit and mineral-driven profile to shine. With youthful energy, Pierre Moncuit’s “Delos” Brut Blanc de Blancs is a versatile and memorable choice for those who appreciate Grand Cru Chardonnay in a large-format bottle meant for sharing.

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!
