From grand cru Chardonnay vineyards, this beautifully mature wine is ready to drink. Still with its mineral edge, the Champagne is textured. But it is the ripeness, the brioche flavors and touch of maturity that gives this wine its perfect poise.
This Grower is 100% Chardonnay from two adjacent 90-year old vineyards in Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger. Always entirely single vintage, so only made in exceptional years. Aged only in stainless steel, after 100% maololactic fermentation and 10.5 years en tirage. 8 grams dosage.
Moncuit makes consistently outstanding Champagnes but doesn’t seem to get much attention, and that’s really a shame. The core of the domaine’s holdings are in Mesnil. Readers will find terrific expressions of the Grand Cru village in the Delos and Vintage bottlings. —Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media,, November 2020

"The 2006 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Cuvée Nicole VV emerges from old vines in Les Chétillons, one of the most renowned lieu-dits in Mesnil. More of a wine than a Champagne, the VV possesses notable textural richness and gravitas, both of which build with a bit of time in the glass. This is a terrific choice for readers who enjoy Champagnes with the complexity that develops in bottle over time. Disgorged: March, 2021."
