Vilmart et Cie Cœur de Cuvée Premier Cru Brut 2007

<p>5th generation Laurent Champs has been leading this great estate since 1989 in the village of Rilly-la-Montagne, with 11ha of vineyards of larger parcels, spanning only to the neighbouring village. For over 30 years, extensive soil work through the use of organic and sustainable viticulture with no use of chemicals help to keep all vines and soils healthy. There is also much attention in the gravity-fed winery, where Laurent prefers the traditional Coquard press and oak barrels of many sizes for the fermentation (5500L, 600L, 228L), with malo avoided. To quote Laurent, &ldquo;I make wine first, and the bubbles afterwards.&rdquo; Many would agree that the wines in the Vilmart lineup have extraordinary class, finesse, &amp; elegance!</p>

The 2007 Coeur de Cuvée is drinking very well, opening in the glass with a lovely bouquet of crisp green apples, beeswax and citrus oil, complemented by spicy top notes of cinnamon and ginger. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, vinous and incisive, with a textural attack that segues into a tangy, acid-driven core and a mouthwatering, saline finish, set off by an ultra-fine pinpoint mousse. While this Champagne's energy and integration make it a lovely drink today, it will reward more than a decade's bottle age. - (Wine Advocate)
