The production of the 2008 Nicole Moncuit Vieilles Vignes champagne by Pierre Moncuit
The Nicole Moncuit Vieilles Vignes 2008 is a Blanc de Blancs champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown on vines over 50 years old, located in the heart of the Grand Cru terroir of Mesnil-sur-Oger. These old vines, rooted in chalky soils, produce grapes of exceptional concentration. These berries reflect the richness and purity of the terroir. Vinification in stainless steel vats preserves the freshness and integrity of the aromas, while long aging on lees (over 10 years) allows the wine to develop a unique complexity. With a dosage of 3 g/L, this cuvée offers a perfect balance between power and finesse.
