Product Info
The Robert Moncuit 'Les Chétillons' Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 2017 stands as a magnificent expression of pure Chardonnay elegance, sourced exclusively from the prestigious terroirs of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs region of France. This exceptional champagne emerges from five carefully selected parcels, totaling two hectares of vineyard land planted between 1951 and 1987 on slopes of remarkable southeastern exposure, where pristine white chalk lies tantalizingly close to the surface—a geological gift that imparts distinctive mineral character to every bottle. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this vintage showcases the winemaker's commitment to purity and precision. The fruit undergoes thoughtful vinification across both oak and stainless steel vessels, followed by malolactic fermentation that adds complexity and textural richness. The minimal dosage—applied with restraint or omitted entirely—allows the wine's natural character to shine brilliantly, delivering a bone-dry, savory profile that speaks to the chalky minerality of its origin. Upon tasting, expect to discover captivating notes of lemon, pear, and distinctive chalk minerality in its youthful expression. With time, this wine evolves gracefully, developing sophisticated layers of bergamot, delicate herbal infusions, candied citrus, and ethereal meringue. The powerful yet refined texture provides an elegant framework, making this a champagne of remarkable longevity and contemplative depth—a true collector's choice for those who appreciate the finest expressions of Grand Cru Chardonnay.
Vinification: Fermented and aged in traditional oak casks (tonneaux) to add vinous texture while preserving vertical acidity.Malolactic Fermentation: Fully completed, softening the aggressive young edges and accentuating creaminess and savory depth.Aging & Dosage: Bottled without fining or filtering, aged under natural cork prior to disgorgement, and finished as an Extra Brut / zero-to-low dosage style to highlight absolute purity.Aroma: Piercing lime peel, crisp green pear, and lemon curd interwoven with wet chalk, oyster shell, subtle smoke, and toasted brioche.Palate: Taut, electric acidity with a creamy, expansive mid-palate texture. Flavors of citrus oil, hazelnut, and salted almond expand into a long, bone-dry, mouthwatering mineral finish.Cellaring: Built for serious aging, it continues to evolve gracefully for over a decade post-disgorgement.
