ROBERT MONCUIT – COTEAUX CHAMPENOIS LES VOLIBARTS 2015 100% Chardonnay | Le Mesnil-sur-Oger | Champagne, France Lot: 3 Bottles A distinctive opportunity to acquire three bottles of a rare and particularly interesting still white wine from Robert Moncuit, an acclaimed grower-producer based in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of the most prestigious Grand Cru villages of Champagne's Côte des Blancs. Unlike conventional Champagne, Coteaux Champenois is a still wine appellation, allowing Chardonnay to express the character of Champagne's exceptional chalk-rich terroirs without secondary fermentation or carbonation. The Wine and Its Terroir Les Volibarts is made from 100% Chardonnay, reflecting the identity of the Côte des Blancs and the distinctive geological character of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The region's limestone and chalk-rich soils are particularly renowned for producing Chardonnay wines with natural freshness, precision and mineral character. The Producer Robert Moncuit is a family estate founded in 1928 and currently led by Pierre Amillet. The domaine has established a strong reputation among Champagne enthusiasts for its terroir-focused approach and its expressive Chardonnay wines. The winemaking philosophy favours careful vineyard management, hand harvesting and a relatively low-intervention approach in the cellar. Pierre Amillet's work is also influenced by Burgundy, particularly in the use of oak ageing and the pursuit of texture, complexity and balance. The 2015 Vintage The 2015 vintage offers an opportunity to explore Chardonnay from Champagne in its still-wine form, away from the familiar framework of sparkling Champagne. This is a particularly interesting proposition for collectors seeking distinctive expressions of the region's great Chardonnay terroirs.
