Expert Reviews

93 Points | International Wine Cellar , November 2012

(70% chardonnay and 30% pinot noir, with 2009 as the base and some 2008 and 2007 wine; disgorged September, 2011):  Light,bright gold.  Heady, complex scents of poached pear, vanilla, anise and pungent flowers.  Fleshy but focused and pure, offering vanilla-accented orchard fruit and lemon curd underscored by chalky minerality.   Finishes long and toasty, with lingering florality and noteworthy clarity.

Vilmart has become "the" hot champagne for collectors; consistently high quality in the bottle is why. This NV is a wonderful intro to the house style. Very crisp, clean, and (with a little time on the cork) complex, with ripe fruit and leesy mineral notes. And all from premier-cru sites. Hint: look for the disgorgment date on the lower-right corner of the FRONT label...give it at least 3-4 years!

About France

France is the fountainhead of the grape varieties most craved by North American wine drinkers: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. In fact, these grapes are widely referred to as "international" varieties because they have been planted and imitated all over the world.

Chardonnay

The best Chardonnays in the world continue to arrive from the region where the grape first emerged: the chalk, clay, and limestone vineyards of Burgundy and Chablis.
