TASTING NOTES

Pierre Moncuit Cuvee Nicole Vieille Vigne Les Chatillons Extra Brut Grand Cru 2008 is a masterful expression of Champagne from the renowned Le Mesnil-sur-Oger sub region, celebrated for its exceptional Chardonnay vineyards. Crafted exclusively in top vintages, this cuvée is made from century-old vines in the prestigious Les Chétillons lieu-dit, showcasing the pure calcaire soil’s signature minerality and complexity.

This 2008 vintage, recognized as one of the finest and most collectible, spent 15 years aging in the winery’s cellars before being disgorged in early 2024, resulting in a Champagne of remarkable depth and finesse. The production is limited to just 1,649 cases, emphasizing its rarity and exclusivity compared to other Grand Cru offerings in the region.

The wine delivers a rich and deeply expressive profile, balancing intense citrus fruits, hazel kernels, and dried orange peel with layers of white fruit and nuanced mineral complexity. The old vine stock imparts a profound vinous character, while the Extra Brut dosage preserves vibrant tension and elegance throughout the palate.

Praised by David Schildknecht at The Wine Advocate for its complexity and class, this cuvée embodies the celebrated virtues of Le Mesnil. It has also earned 98 points from James Suckling, underscoring its status as an extraordinary value and a standout Champagne for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Experience the unparalleled terroir of Les Chétillons in this exquisite Grand Cru Chardonnay from the legendary 2008 vintage, a true testament to the artistry and heritage of Pierre Moncuit.
