CHAMPAGNE ROBERT MONCUIT
Histroy FIVE GENERATIONS Champagne Robert Moncuit was founded in 1889 and has a long history dating back five generations. Alex Moncuit created the vineyard in the 1890’s but it was not until 1935 that Robert, his grandson created his first cuvée. Robert Moncuit continued to produce this exceptional Champagne until his death in 1987. This Champagne house is now in the hands of his daughter Françoise and his son Pierre, who has been the winemaker since 2000. Champagne Robert Moncuit owns 8 hectares of vineyards in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, in the heart of what is perhaps the most sought after of all grands crus in the Côte de Blancs.
Viticulture Over the years the domaine has begun to follow a clean method of viticulture, using fewer and fewer chemicals and no insecticides; they have returned to their roots in order to have a more lively and active soil.
THE HARVESTS The harvests are done manually, collecting naturally healthy and mature grapes so no added sugar is required. Each plot is pressed separately to allow for future assemblages of the different cuvées. Then the processes of fermentation and aging sur lies take place for several months prior to bottling.
The Production Champagne Robert Moncuit is 100% Chardonnay from two terroirs: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger (8ha) and Chetillons (2ha). The annual production is around 60,000 bottles.
The Winemaker Pierre Amillet is a talented and passionate winemaker. He is among Champagne's most gifted growers. just as Burgundy's best vignerons seek to capture the essence of their finest terroirs in bottle. Champagne's best winemakers seek to precisely define their best vineyards through wines that express these distinct places of origin. Relatively recent in Champagne's history, the dynamic started by Anselme Selosse in the 1970s has sparked a 'quiet revolution' among growers and helped build a global reputation for grower Champagnes.
