A classy blanc de blancs, offering fine balance and a lacy mousse, with a light, chalky undertow to the well-meshed flavors of Asian pear, quince blossom, pickled ginger and slivered almond. Refreshing and harmonious. Disgorged July 2019. Drink now through 2025. 4,000 cases made, 150 cases imported.

From 90-year-old vines in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, this is a superbly ripe wine, full-bodied, concentrated with a great swathe of minerality going through. This is still young, based on the 2004 vintage, but shows every sign of developing into a beautifully toasty maturity.

Moncuit's non-vintage Cuvee Pierre Moncuit-Delos Blanc de Blancs Brut is typically a rich, powerful, crisp effort displaying notes of chalk dust, white peaches, subtle bees honey, brioche, and yellow plums. Medium-bodied with gorgeous as well as persistent effervescence, and a dry, fabulously pure, laser-like finish, it should be drunk over the next 3-4 years.
