High end Champagne 2012 vs 2013, tasted blind (Bad Ragaz): 8g dosage. Medium orange. Discrete nose, some bitterness elements on the palate, not very complex. Shows why I am not such a rosé fan.

Vilmart Coeur de Cuvee 2008.
Wow!
Fantastisk parfymert nese.
Smack in your face, rik og deilig.
Fyldig munnfølelse.
Konsentrert med masse power som balanseres med en pirrende friskhet.
Den drikker som en Gud!
Fremdeles på et primært stadie.
De som har denne i kjelleren har mye godt i vente.
Knallbra lang elektrisk finish. 95p

Nick A's 2012 Burgundy Horizontal (Table A) (Noizé, London): Gorgeous. Nose melds a slatey minerality, some grape flesh, a little sherbet pip and a hint of cashew. Palate reveal Cox apple, a touch of grapefruit zest and a refreshing acidity. Just perfectly balanced and very more-ish. With air a focussed lime character emerges on the end palate. If I've had a finer Champagne so far this year I don't recall it.

Took another bottle of the 2012 vilmart blanches voies to see whether last week’s stellar showing was representative or not. In short, it was representative. Crackling with energy from the start. Clearly young and linear but it’s a great line of beautifully balanced and persistent sweet lemons. Superb bdb.

70% chardonnay, 30% pinot noir.
No malo lactic.
Disgorged Sept 2018.
Very light slate color with faintest golden tinge. Delicate bubbles with persistent bead.
Nose apple, golden honey.
Palate golden apple, nice mineral and acid backbone. Slight brioche richness. Some honey.

Very easy to drink with bbq. Not the most complex, but enjoyable and refreshing.

👀Vibrant golden yellow color
👃Apples:very ripe and bruised also.
Biscuit, butter, lanolin, honey, & florals. Bold & elegant
👅Quite vinous champagne. Enough substance, backbone, & flavor to deliver a great drink. Fruit from start to the long finish: Apples, lemon, orange liquer, & pastry

Great with an aged gouda and a robusto
Solid performer at 22 years from a champagne vintage without laurels. Bravo!

Yea not seeing this the same as others here. Seriously this bottle was average at best but nice nose.

Drank from a Riedel Chablis glass, bubbles faded fast. No bueno. Also as I was removing the foil the cork exploded out of the bottle. Was intense. Happened in the restaurant, never found the cork!! Crazy.

Followed over several hours. In the beginning 90/91 points at best. After another hour or 2 improved.

Apricot on initial taste and peaches, some sour apple, brioche but still felt disjointed. Maybe just too young and in 10 years it will reveal itself to be somewhat drinkable? Only time will tell.

NOTE we didn't even finish half the bottle! Three of us. What a joke. Was so uninspiring we went on the reds after a small glass.

All in all seemed like a decent wine yet also seemed kinda meh and messed w your head begging you to ask this for more complexity.

I usually am a fan of Vilmart. Would love to try the 12 in comparison. I have a bottle of the 02 will have to drink to see what this is like w some proper age..... to be continued.

Bubbles at Dinings (Dinings SW3): Bottle # 1,076! Cor, really exciting, and extremely sophisticated, it being immediately apparent that this was a refined, sleek and energetic wine. Despite the piercing, sherberty core, the wine managed also to be airy and ethereal, and with time in the glass also showed notes of praline, biscuit and Yuzu. Just delightful - like drinking from a mountain spring, or as though Falkenstein made Champagne.

Opened and aired in an ice bucket for 30 mins or so before serving. Some thought it too cold but I preferred the focus that temp brought to the wine, which was absolutely stunning. I’m a big vilmart fan and have bought all the VBs but this was the first time for me to try one. I went particularly long on this vintage and am thrilled I did. Incredibly elegant and racy. Piercing line of gently sweetened lemon. Great balance throughout a really long finish. I’ve drunk a lot of incredible champagne over the last decade or so. This was as good a bottle as I can recall.

It's been about 3 weeks since my friend opened this, so this note is from memory. This is a special wine, full stop. The wine has an intense mineral core that runs through the center of everything like a laser, with notes of lime, kiwi, and hints of bergamot on the nose. This is a singular Champagne...I would not compare this to any other Blanc de Blanc that I've ever had...but the tension on the palate does remind me of the Coeur de Cuvee right no release. I'm going to be very curious to taste this with more age on it...it seems like this wine might last decades (and improve) with good storage. Outstanding!!!

I'm a pretty big Vilmart fanboy but had never had the opportunity to taste their Coeur de Cuvee until now, thanks to the generosity of my friend Mike, who shared his only bottle with us. Laser focused, with a prominent streak of lemon and minerals at its core. Bone dry but not austere, with a spritely mousse and long citrusy finish. One could fault this a bit for being one dimensional but what a dimension it is.

Dinner at B&A: Blind. Pale straw. Curious nose initially, quite cheesy and vinous. Suggests some weight, but the initial impression on the palate is far cleaner and steelier with a fine chalky texture and vibrant white fruit and cool florality. After being told it’s not BdB and is a grower, Vilmart CdC seems the obvious guess. A decade or so old. A little surprised to hear it’s 2012 - would have expected more richness on the palate perhaps, but compared to a bottle a couple of years ago this seems to have tightened a little and lost its youthful exuberance. Very good indeed. ****

I loved this. Gorgeous juicy acidity in a super composed super integrated broad package. Crisp and acidity but in no way biting or harsh. Interesting exotic nose — kiwi? Hints of Burgundian chalky candy. Great finish. Loved it.

A very nice effort from this disastrous vintage. Plenty of pleasant bready fragrance and better than decent mid palate impact. Mature now. Moderately good champagne character and good balance and acidity and doesn’t taste underripe. Just lacks the concentration of better vintages.

April Basanti (blind): Blind. Disg. 2016. Nice thick mousse. Red apple, pastry mid-palate, nice lemon zest and acidity on finish. I wasn't getting the "signature" tangerine note on this bottle, so didn't spot it as Vilmart. Perhaps more air or warmer temp would have revealed it? Texturally came across as denser than the other sparklings that night. Showing well at the moment, but will likely improve a bit with age.

April BYO (Bodø, Norway): This wine is a mindfuck. Had I not seen that it was a rosé, I would have thought that this was a white champagne. The nose has (uh) ripe cheese and some sweet situs. On the palate, the wine is wonderful with almonds, coarse marzipan as well as clementines, and sweet lemons. I also find some red berry fruit. The wine has a delicious acidity, good length, and mousse that makes it feel fresh and lively.

Wednesday Champagnes at Basanti: Served blind. Wow. Its been 6 years since I had this. I struggled with this more than my comrades. I think this might have been a bit closed. I also should have made a point of taking some additional notes before we left. Reserved flinty nose. Very energetic palate though reserved in expression. Very powerful, hard acids. Definitely was getting prettier in my glass. Will let my bottle sleep at least a couple more years.

While rich, powerful, and creamy, there was sparkling acidity to maintain a taut structure to the wine. I get citrus, herbs, and a hint of toast on the palate. This has beautiful tension and was a pleasure to drink.
