Bright and more fruit-driven than the vintage wines, this has bright lemon and white-grapefruit aromas, as well as salted almonds. It's fresh, creamy and well balanced with a fine mousse. 100% chardonnay from Le Mesnil sur Oger and Oger. From organically grown grapes. Disgorged May 2023. Drink now.

The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Les Grands Blancs emerges from vines in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger, vintages 2020 and 2019. It offers terrific palate presence and fine balance to match. Although bottled with no dosage, Les Grands Blancs is not at all stark. Rather, it boasts very fine pliancy and persistence, qualities that are amplified through vinification and élevage in barrel. Lemon confit, marzipan, dried flowers, chamomile and spice build nicely in the glass. This is beautifully done. - Antonio Galloni

Disgorged in October 2023 without dosage, Robert Moncuit’s NV Extra-Brut Grand Cru Les Grands Blancs is based on the 2020 vintage and complemented with 20% reserve wines from 2019. Vinified in 350-liter oak barrels for 10 months, it is the most comprehensive presentation of the estate, incorporating around 20 parcels from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger. Structurally restrained but aromatically expressive, it’s unfurling from the glass with scents of ripe stone fruit, lemon zest and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, focused and laden with mouthwatering acidity, it concludes with a long, saline finish. The name Les Grands Blancs, in case anyone wonders, is based on its origins—the grands crus of the Côte des Blancs. - KK
