"Does Rosé Champagne get any better than this? Belongs on the short list at the very least. A boxer in ballet shoes." -- Clara Dalzell, Flatiron Wines NYC

Vilmart is on the Burgundian end of the Champagne spectrum. Older examples of his top wines come to taste a lot like a mature Chevalier-Montrachet with fermentation and aging in barrels. But unlike a true C-M Vilmart blocks the malos, retaining great mineral tension. Aside from their rosé, the wines are dominated by Chardonnay—and not the pencil-lead Chardonnay of the Côte des Blancs, but the more generous Chard that you get on the Montagne de Reims where the black grapes tend to be more dominant.

More important than these ""technical"" details, Vilmart is obsessed with good vineyard work, has plenty of low-yielding older vines, and happens to make really delicious wines. Taste and you will learn. And if you have already learned, you will almost certainly want to taste some more!

Professional Reviews

Wine Spectator

WS 94
"A harmonious rosé Champagne, with sleek acidity creating a mouthwatering frame for the focused range of ripe black cherry, blood orange granita, ground ginger and lime blossom flavors. Shows good concentration as the flavors expand on the palate, but this is racy, with good drive and energy through to the lingering finish, where hints of chopped almond and minerally saline and chalk emerge. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged April 2021. Drink now through 2034. 50 cases imported."
