Pierre Moncuit Blanc de Blancs Champagne with White Sturgeon Caviar


Pierre Moncuit Blanc de Blancs Champagne and White Sturgeon Caviar Pairing

This champagne was made from the 2012 harvest from their own vineyards in the village of Le Mesnil sur Oger. There is such freshness and purity present in this champagne. The wine is filled with minerality, green apple and citrus with a touch of pear skin.With a dosage level of 7 g/l it helps take some of the edge off on the finish.

I had the opportunity to meet Yves Moncuit, Pierre's son, and taste through some of his champagnes with White Sturgeon caviar from Lady Elena Caviar. Here is the first pairing.


Lady Elena Caviar Pairing

Americana Caviar (White Sturgeon): This lively and mineraly driven champagne gives you the enjoyment of the champagne as it refreshes your palate. A good Lady Elena Caviar pairing.
