Oh this is really good. Tarragon, crème brûlée, brioche, yellow fruits, a touch of cider. Great structure - despite all the creaminess and slight sweetness, the chalky Mesnil spine runs underneath. Charged, but rounded and friendly thanks to the dosage.
About
Cuvée Delos is the core Grand Cru NV of Pierre Moncuit - 100% Chardonnay sourced entirely from the family's parcels in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Grand Cru (the house doesn't blend across villages). The cuvée name honours Odile Moncuit-Delos, Pierre's wife. Stainless-steel fermentation, full malolactic. This release: tirage April 2022, dégorgement September 2025, so around 41 months sur lattes (above the typical 24-36 month range for the cuvée). Dosage 7 g/L (Brut). 12% ABV. RM 23829-01.
