รายละเอียดสินค้า
A family-run estate with organic vineyards, Champagne Robert Moncuit has a five generation history. Alex Moncuit started the vineyard in 1889, and in 1928 his grandson Robert created his first cuvée and Champagne Robert Moncuit was born. Robert continued to produce this exceptional Champagne until his death in 1987. His daughter Francoise took over the estate, and her son Pierre has been winemaker since 2000. Until 2000 all the wine was sold in France. The estate has 8 hectares under vine in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger which is the same renowned village where Krug's famous 'Clos du Mesnil' vineyard designate is made, and the Le Mesnil-sur-Oger is where the Salon family first realized and then convinced the world that this area was beautifully suited for Champagne made from 100% Chardonnay.

93 points Wine Advocate
Launched for the first time, the 2008 Grand Cru Les Chétillons (Magnum) is 100% unfiltered Chardonnay with no dosage from the corresponding lieu-dit in Mesnil-sur-Oger in which Pierre Amillet holds two hectares. "This terroir has a very poor soil with only 20 centimeters of top soil over the chalky subsoil," he says. The vines were planted in 1956. Poured from the Magnum, the wine shows deep and very clear flavors of yellow apples, lemon and orange aromas. Still very young, this is a pure and very mineral Champagne full of finesse, vibration and length that will benefit from some months (not to mention years) of bottle aging. A great character.
