Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass with a fine, persistent mousse, this Champagne offers a bright, polished appearance. The nose opens with fresh citrus, white flowers, orchard fruit, and subtle brioche notes, all wrapped in a mineral freshness that gives the wine real lift and clarity. On the palate, it is vibrant and creamy at once, balancing crisp acidity with ripe fruit, gentle toast, and a long, chalk-tinged finish. The blend brings both finesse and structure, giving the wine excellent harmony and the potential to develop additional complexity over the next few years.

Production
Sourced from Premier Cru vineyards in Rilly-la-Montagne in the Montagne de Reims, the wine benefits from a cool Champagne terroir that favors freshness, tension, and aromatic purity. Vilmart is known for careful vineyard work and a hands-on approach in the cellar, typically emphasizing gentle pressing, fermentation in oak, and patient aging on lees to build texture and depth without losing precision.

Food & Serving
A versatile Champagne for the table, it pairs beautifully with oysters, sashimi, tempura, roast chicken, aged Comté, or light dishes with creamy sauces. Serve well chilled at 8–10°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a few minutes in the glass can help the wine open up if you want to reveal more of its complexity.
