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

Antonio Galloni

AG 94
"The 2009 Brut Coeur de Cuvée is radiant and inviting, with soft contours and tons of immediacy. Apricot, spice, wild flowers, pastry and lightly honeyed notes infuse the 2009 with tons of complexity. The 2009 is a stellar Coeur de Cuvée, but I also get the sense it will mature a bit earlier than other recent vintages, so I wouldn't push my luck on aging." -Antonio Galloni
