It was Alex Moncuit, Robert's grandfather, who planted the first vineyard and several years later, his son Alexander, who married Henriette Launois in 1907, enlarged the Domaine through various new acquisitions of vineyards. It was then Robert, the third generation of the Moncuit family, who began marketing the first Cuvée de Champagne Moncuit, in 1935. Today, the reins of this beautiful estate in the heart of the Côte des Blancs are in the hands of his daughter Françoise and grandson Pierre Amillet, the fourth and fifth generations respectively.
