Vilmart & Cie Grande Réserve pours a radiant golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse. On the nose, it immediately shows the Vilmart signature: expressive orchard fruits layered with citrus zest, fresh brioche, and delicate floral tones. There is a subtle nutty richness from the oak aging that adds depth without ever feeling heavy.
The palate is vibrant and textural, offering flavors of crisp apple, ripe pear, lemon curd, and a touch of honeycomb. The bubbles are energetic yet refined, carrying the wine into a long finish accented by chalky minerality and a kiss of pastry cream. This is Champagne that balances generosity and precision beautifully, making it equally perfect for festive toasts or pairing with a celebratory meal.
The NV Champagne 1er Cru Grande Reserve Brut is 70% Pinot Noir and the rest Chardonnay based on the 2021 vintage. Revealing a bright yellow hue, it’s a lovely entry to this range with aromas of orange custard, shortbread, strawberries, and fresh flowers. Medium-bodied, it fills the palate and has a rich, silky texture, a clean, citrus-noted finish, and a refined mousse that frames it beautifully. Drink over the next 8-10 years. It was disgorged in July 2023.
Vivid acidity creates a mouthwatering frame for the white raspberry, blood orange, salted Marcona almond and star anise flavors carried on the lightly chalky mousse of this sleek and focused Champagne. Lightly briny and lingering on the finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged July 2023. Drink now through 2029.
A blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, the latest rendition of Vilmart's NV Brut Premier Cru Grande Réserve reveals a pure, delicate bouquet of pear, white flowers, confit citrus and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, pure, precise and seamless, it has a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and a crystalline texture that paves the way to a long, mouthwatering and ethereal finish. Based on the 2021 vintage complemented with 2020 and 2019, it includes 50% vins de réserve and was vinified and matured for 10 months. Drink: 2024-2030.
