Vilmart & Cie ‘Grande Réserve’ Brut Champagne

The Vilmart NV Grande Reserve represents a blend of relatively young vines of Chardonnay with around 70% Pinot Noir. Displays a surprising degree of lees autolysis in the nose, joined by smoky and chalky nuances that come out more emphatically on the silken, finely effervescent palate.

“Candied pink grapefruit, chopped almond, black cherry and ground ginger flavors are bright and expressive in this finely knit Champagne. Satiny in texture, with a lively streak of acidity and a tang of salinity driving the finish.” –93 Points, Wine Spectator
