Tasting notes

Straw yellow with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose opens on hazelnut and brioche, followed by vanilla, dried fruit and fine lemon zest. The palate is elegant, powerful and complex, with creamy texture, vibrant acidity and a long, toasty finish.

About this wine

Vilmart & Cie is a family Champagne house in Rilly-la-Montagne, now in its fifth generation, working 11 hectares of Premier Cru vineyards on clay soils with patches of chalk. The estate was largely destroyed in the Second World War and rebuilt afterwards.

Coeur de Cuvée is its prestige wine, made from vines around 60 years old, mostly Chardonnay with Pinot Noir. It is hand-harvested, fermented without malolactic, aged 10 months in large oak casks and then about 70 months on its lees, with a dosage of 7 g/l.

Elegant yet powerful, it shows hazelnut, brioche, vanilla, dried fruit and fine lemon, a complex Champagne for the table.
