The Moncuit family makes consistently outstanding Champagnes but doesn't seem to get much attention, and that's really a shame…" -Antonio Galloni. Well, we are more than happy to help raise the visibility of this deserving producer especially when they have priced their 2008 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs so attractively.
VINOUS WINE MEDIA 94 POINTS - "Moncuit's Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Millesime shows a different facet of its personality in this version, with lower dosage vis-a-vis the Brut version. Here the flavors are brighter and more sculpted throughout. Hints of toastiness, almond and tangerine oil add an exotic flair that makes the Extra Brut absolutely beguiling. Lower dosage seems to exalt the minerality and bright acids of the year, while pushing the fruit a bit into the background. Both Brut and Extra Brut bottlings are terrific; choosing among them comes down to personal preference." - Antonio Galloni
