Pierre Moncuit’s Champagne “Delos” Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru NV, presented in a 1.5L magnum, is a refined and terroir-driven Champagne made exclusively from Grand Cru Chardonnay grown in the prized vineyards of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs. The chalky soils of Le Mesnil lend this Blanc de Blancs a unique minerality and elegance, characteristics enhanced by the magnum format, which allows for slower, more nuanced aging. The Brut dosage brings balance to the wine’s natural acidity, making it both fresh and approachable.

On the nose, “Delos” exudes aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and white flowers, with subtle hints of almond, chalk, and brioche that develop from extended lees aging. The palate is precise and lively, showcasing flavors of lemon, orchard fruits, and a distinctive chalky minerality that reflects the Grand Cru terroir. The fine, creamy mousse adds depth and smoothness, while the Brut finish provides a clean, refreshing lift with lingering notes of chalk and salinity.

This magnum format is ideal for special gatherings or cellaring, as it enhances the wine’s potential for aging, allowing its complexity to evolve further over time. Pair “Delos” with oysters, shellfish, or creamy cheeses to bring out its mineral-rich and vibrant character. With youthful brightness, Pierre Moncuit’s “Delos” Brut Blanc de Blancs in Magnum format is a standout choice for Champagne enthusiasts who appreciate the finesse of Grand Cru Chardonnay in a larger, celebratory bottle.
