Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs 'Hugues de Coulmet' Pierre Moncuit

Pierre Moncuit's Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs "Hugues de Coulmet" is the cuvée that best represents the elegant and classic style of this family-owned Maison. It is a pure Chardonnay with a refined and crystal-clear profile, a faithful expression of a highly prized terroir, composed of limestone and chalk, which gives the wine savouriness, minerality and limpid freshness. Its floral and fruity aromas enhance the finesse of a fragrant and pleasantly satisfying sip. It is a perfect Champagne to enjoy as an aperitif, to accompany hors d'oeuvres or delicately flavoured seafood dishes.

The cuvée "Hugues de Coulmet" is a Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs made by the Maison Pierre Moncuit in the tradition of a centuries-old savoir-faire. Today, the estate manages some 20 hectares, mostly located in the famous and prized area of Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger, right in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. The grapes for the cuvée come from vineyards cultivated in the Sézanne area, characterised by chalky, calcareous soils that are particularly suited to the cultivation of Chardonnay, which expresses itself with exceptional aromatic finesse in this area. At the end of the harvest, the grapes are pressed very gently so as to extract only the flower must. After the first fermentation, the base wines mature for a few months and are then blended to create the final blend. Secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Champenoise Method, with an ageing period sur lattes of at least 48 months.

Maison Pierre Moncuit's Brut Blanc de Blancs "Hugues de Coulmet" is an artisanal Champagne dedicated to those who prefer a classic, harmonious and fragrant taste or those who wish to discover the character of the Maison starting with its entry cuvée. To the eye, it has a beautiful bright light yellow colour, crossed by a fine, continuous and persistent perlage. The bouquet is characterised by aromas of white-fleshed fruit, green apple, tobacco peach, hints of citrus, slight floral and bread crust nuances. The palate is ample with ripe, creamy fruit, anticipating a fresh, savoury finish.
