Vilmart et Cie Grand Cellier d'Or Premier Cru Brut 2014

<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>

Revisited from the September 2018 disgorgement, Vilmart's 2014 Brut Premier Cru Grand Cellier d'Or is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with scents of pear, toasted brioche, white flowers, crisp peach and honeycomb. Medium to full-bodied, vinous and incisive, with superb depth at the core, racy acids and a bright, unerringly precise finish, it's still very youthful—to the extent that I'd love to be broaching a full case a decade from now.
