Vilmart et Cie Grand Cellier Rubis Rosé Premier Cru 2011

<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>

From 55-year-old vines and aged for ten months in small oak barrels (no malolactic fermentation done), the rare 2011 Premier Cru Grand Cellier Rubis displays an orange shimmering rosé color and has a deep, rich and complex bouquet with toasty brioche and nutty notes intermixed with lovely red fruit and floral aromas. Full-bodied but pure, fresh and very elegant on the palate, with concentrated fruit and good structure, this is a highly delicate but persistent cuvée of 60% Pinot Noir (saignée) and 40% Chardonnay. It is complex and long on the vinous finish. This sample was disgorged in April 2016. Tasted in April 2018. (Wine Advocate)
