Description
 
The Champagne House Vilmart & Cie was founded in 1890 by Désiré Vilmart in the heart of the Montagne de Reims. Since then, the House has been leaded by passionate sons and sons-in-law who enabled this small House to become famous The house owns 11 acres of vineyards around the village of Rilly. The vineyards are planted with 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir. The area in the Montagne de Reims has some of the best soils in Champagne – an ideal place to grow high quality wines. Vilmart Champagnes are sophisticated and complex, but also powerful, expertly crafted by the family. No chemical fertilizers, insecticides or herbicides are used in the winemaking at Vilmart.

The 2011 Grand Cellier d'Or Premier Cru Brut offers a clear, pure and fresh bouquet with lemon, limes and very chalky/mineral flavors that seem to be a bit austere in their youth. Round, elegant and intense, with great finesse and persistence in the finish, this is a remarkable rich, complex and highly elegant Champagne. It has some nutty and lingering mineral flavors in the finish. Great ageing potential, with great precision and complexity. The blend is 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir, with 100% selection massale (45-years-old vines), and was disgorged in June 2015 with eight grams per liter of dosage. Wine Advocate 93+ (2011)
