Proprietor Laurent Champs can be counted on for wines of extraordinary class and elegance. All of the wines are fermented in oak, although you would hardly know that tasting the wines. Also, all the grapes are drawn from the clay and limestone soils of the estate's own vineyards in Rilly-la-Montagne Premier Cru. After fermentation (with no malo) this 2018 based edition was aged in large foudre for ten months. A blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay this entry level bottling makes a terrific introduction to the Vilmart range. The aromatics are captivating, showing ripe pear, cherry and exotic white flowers lend striking aromatic intensity. Medium in body and finely cut, the Grande Réserve is perhaps a bit more austere than most Vilmart Champagnes, but it compensates for that with striking precision and overall persistence. Disgorged: June, 2021 with a dosage of 9g/liter.
