From the producer: The blond colour with pale golden highlights announces a wine mostly composed of Pinot Noir and reflects a perfect maturity. The effervescence is long-tasting, giving birth to a persistent and delicate mousse with fine bubbles.

The first impression on the nose is marked by great intensity. She is opening on biscuit, mature wheat, pear and cherry flavour. After a few seconds, the nose became wider. The iris, oak, celery, white pepper and fine mineral aromas bring depth and complexity to the wine. With air, melted butter and toast notes appear, reflecting an harmonious evolution of the wine.

There is a fine balance between the primary aromas (fruits), secondary (biscuit, bread, butter) and tertiary (minerals and spices).

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!

"A bright, harmonious Champagne, with a lovely vibrancy to the finely detailed bead that effortlessly carries the flavor range, including crunchy Asian pear, tangerine and slivered almond notes that show hints of grated ginger and elderflower. Ends with a lasting, creamy finish. Disgorged October 2019."
