The Moncuit family has a long history of farming some of the best vineyards in the Côte des Blancs. They began purchasing land in 1889 and by 1928 were bottling at the domaine.

The current winemaker, Pierre Amillet, is the fourth generation to lead the winery. If you spend any time with him you quickly realize he is obsessed with Chardonnay grown in the chalky terroirs of Le Mesnil.

Les Chetillons is a parcel that has been in Pierre’s family for over 70 years. Pierre, taking over the domaine in 2000 is only the second winemaker to bottle a wine solely from Les Chetillons. He did this because he found this site achieved the purest expression of the village, Le Mesnil.

This parcel sits directly on chalk, no clay or anything else. Along with chalk soils, there are old vines that extend down 10 meters into the soil. For Pierre, terroir is directly linked to the vigor of the root system and soil.

Robert Moncuit's Reserve Perpetuelle is a blend of reserve wines from various vintages, each of which is kept in tank separately before they are blended. The current release spans six different vintages, 2006 - 2012, and the dosage is 2 grams per liter. It is the same wine that the domaine used to just call Blanc de Blancs Extra NV.
