Pierre Moncuit Coulmet Brut Blanc de Blancs (Base 2020) is a beautifully expressive Grower Champagne made from 100% Chardonnay sourced from the Côte de Sézanne, just south of the famed Côte des Blancs. Produced by the historic family-run house of Pierre Moncuit, this cuvée offers a fresh and approachable introduction to the domaine's elegant, Chardonnay-driven style.
Though labeled non-vintage, this release is based on the 2020 harvest. The wine is vinified in stainless steel and aged on the lees for approximately 24 months before release, giving it lovely texture and finesse while preserving its bright, mineral character.
In the glass, Coulmet opens with inviting aromas of white peach, lemon zest, green apple, fresh flowers and light pastry notes. The palate is crisp and lively, with fine bubbles and flavors of citrus, orchard fruit, chalk and subtle brioche. Clean, balanced and refreshing — an exceptional aperitif and a wonderful match for shellfish, sushi, light seafood dishes and soft cheeses.
A terrific value in Grower Champagne and a perfect bottle for those discovering the purity and charm of Blanc de Blancs.
Press Notes
91 pts — James Suckling: "A fresh blanc de blancs with lemon, apricot and white-flower aromas, as well as some salty biscuit. Fresh, elegant and balanced, with soft bubbles and a fruity, rounded finish."
91 pts — Vinous: "Rich and ample, the 2018 is wonderfully open-knit in this release. White peach, mint, white pepper, crushed rocks, slate and lemon oil are some of the many notes that grace this exquisite, wonderfully expressive Blanc de Blancs."

About Pierre Moncuit
Based in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Champagne Pierre Moncuit is a historic family estate particularly renowned for its Chardonnay-based Champagnes. While the estate's flagship Delos cuvée comes from Grand Cru Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Coulmet draws from the family's holdings in the Côte de Sézanne — a region prized for its rounder, fruit-forward expression of Chardonnay.
Why We Like It
Coulmet delivers the hallmark precision and elegance of Pierre Moncuit at an accessible price point. The Côte de Sézanne fruit adds a generous, approachable character that makes this an ideal everyday Champagne — and a compelling introduction to the world of Grower Champagne.
