Pierre Moncuit Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs NV (750ML)

91 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The (2016) Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Delos Grand Cru bristles with tension and energy. Citrus, white flowers, mint, crushed rocks and dried herbs give the 2016 a real air of vivacity and cut to match its mid-weight personality. Airy and understated, the 2016 has a lot to offer, but it is very much on the understated side of things. In this vintage, the Extra Brut style works especially well in bringing out the crystalline purity of Mesnil Chardonnay. Dosage: 3.5 gr/L. Disgorged: February, 2019." 10/19

91 Points, Josh Reynolds, Vinous: "(made from fruit grown in Mesnil-sur-Oger; disgorged in April, 2013): Bright yellow. Fresh nectarine, pear and tangerine aromas are complemented by deeper-pitched notes of toasty lees and anise. Chewy pit and orchard fruit flavors become spicier and more tangy with air, with a bracing mineral providing focus. The mineral note carries through the persistent finish, which features a suave floral quality and a touch of bitter quinine." 12/13

91 Points, Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator: "Floral notes accent flavors of ripe apple, kumquat, biscuit, anise and spun honey in this finely textured Champagne, while a hint of fleur del sel lingers on the clean, vibrant finish." 11/12

93 Points, Bughound: "A complex, strikingly elegant and airy nose features notes of baked broad, yeast, pear, green apple and lovely spice notes. The refined character continues onto the absolutely delicious flavors that possess a moderately exuberant mousse before terminating in a dry, crisp and slightly austere finish that is clean, refreshing and persistent. This knockout is drinking perfectly now and is highly recommended." 10/12
