By Terry Theise
(Vilmart & Cie "Cuvée Grand Cellier d’Or" Brut) ($97.00) Available later this year, so we may have a gap between vintages here. It’s 80PN/20CH as always. Though we have to wait, it seems quite ready. Has all the deep reverb of ’06, and a wonderful apple-butter and clove-like spicy “sweetness;” completely open and sanguine despite 2/11 disgorgement. A chubby happy baby. Hints of espresso, cocoa bean and sandalwood.

For a 2006 very fresh and with less botrytis notes. Typical refreshing Vilmart notes. Love the power of the power without losing his elegannce. 92-93

From magnum - this was so, so tight. Pale straw, some lemon, some spice, ginger - this took more than a couple of hours to truly open up. Will drink down the 750s first and keep this for another time.

Had with sushi and was excellent
Anything with sesame seemed to really go well
As always lots of verve and mousse

Mid yellow colour, still quite youthful in appearance. This has gained a little richness over time but is otherwise quite primary still - Apple, pear, citrus, slight elements of honey and almonds. Feels like still coming out of a tight phase. ***1/2+
