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

Pierre Moncuit’s Champagne “Coulmet” Brut Blanc de Blancs NV, based on the 2019 vintage, is an elegant and terroir-driven Champagne crafted entirely from Chardonnay sourced from the Sézanne area in the Côte des Blancs. Known for its unique expression of Chardonnay, the Sézanne vineyards offer a slightly warmer microclimate, which lends this cuvée a rounder, fruit-forward profile while maintaining the fresh acidity characteristic of Blanc de Blancs. The Brut dosage enhances the wine’s balance, making it approachable and lively.

On the nose, “Coulmet” presents inviting aromas of citrus blossom, green apple, and pear, with subtle hints of almond and chalk. The palate is vibrant and refreshing, showcasing flavors of lemon zest, orchard fruits, and a delicate minerality that reflects the chalky soils. A fine, creamy mousse adds elegance, while the Brut finish leaves a clean, crisp impression, inviting another sip.

Perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood, light poultry, or creamy cheeses, this Champagne is versatile and food-friendly. The 2019 base brings a youthful vibrancy to “Coulmet,” making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate a refined Blanc de Blancs that combines freshness with a touch of richness, capturing the character of Sézanne’s Chardonnay in an approachable style.

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!
