Yellow hue, lightly roasted almonds, nice citrus, mineral. Delicious without cloying. It's a very generous Champagne that crosses all the t's and dots all the i's. Really can't go wrong here. 92 points.

80% Chard and 20% PN. Avoiding malolactic fermentation and aged in wood barrels and 600L casks. Effervescent with light pine, MacIntarsh apple, seamlessly woven, fresh with acidity. Anise appeared 30 min later, adding another layer of interesting complexity. It's still quite young and fresh. In a lineup against all the NM's, this Champagne is full of character and personality. Vilmart is a grower Champagne worth seeking out. 94 points.

Golden hue. Round and creamy, toasted bread and nuts. Nice full malolactic fermentation here. This is hedonistic and pampering for all the guests. 94 points.
