Pierre Moncuit Champagne Grand Cru Brut Rose NV 750ml

Chardonnay from Mesnil and Pinot Noir from Ambonnay. Very elegant wine, reflection of two Grand Cru terroirs, Brut Rosé is the result of a blend of Chardonnay from our Domaine (75%) and of Pinot Noir. This wine with subtle aromas will be appreciated for aperitif and with red fruits desserts. Professional note: Vinous Rating: 90 The NV (2013) Brut Rosé comes across as tightly wound and not fully expressive. Powerful, intense but also a bit compact, the Brut Rosé could use a bit of time to open up. Even so, I imagine it will always be somewhat austere. This is by far the most reticent wine I tasted from Moncuit this year. The Rosé is a blend of 75% Chardonnay from Le Mesnil sur Oger and 25% Pinot Noir from Ambonnay. Dosage is 8 grams per liter. Disgorged: February 2015.
