    This is the July 2021 disgorgement; as usual apparently 90/10 PN/C, 10 months in oak, no malo; the producer website suggests 8g/l. And I guess 2019 base with reserves from 2017/18.

    Initially this was rather closed down; little on the nose and a rather austere palate (extremely so for 8g/l). It opens up somewhat with 30+ minutes of air - raspberry and redcurrant on the nose; the palate is very crisp, minerality emerges, and it is well-balanced. The finish is quite long and clean. However, I have an overall perception of a slightly "thin" wine, particularly for the dosage.

    This is my first Vilmart bottle and perhaps I came in with over-inflated expectations, or maybe as some have suggested it just needs more time in bottle. Anyway, still a very nice wine indeed and OK, if not great QPR at the ~US$51 that I paid.

    October 2019 disgorgement, which would be 2017 base with reserves from 2016 & 2015, as far as I understand.

    If I had one word to explain this it would be juicy. That character of the fruit is just that, fresh and vibrant raspberry, strawberry, pear and lime. Some autolytic notes, hints of minerality along with an herbal character that I enjoy.

    As it opens up the mineral note turns into a side show of chalk on the palate. Good balance of acid and body. Nice finish, wishing I had more of this wine. I also love the color of this. Rosé champagne is just fun.

    This really delivers for the price point. Very fresh, vibrant, zesty with sweet strawberry fruits. Aromatic and full bodied. Not particularly lean or linear, however, showing good depth and complexity.

    (NV Vilmart & Cie "Cuvée Rubis" Brut) ($89.00) The 9/10 disgorgement is sold out at the estate. The next one, which I didn’t taste, will be released in October ’11. (BTW, the vintage Rosé called Grand Cellier Rubis is astonishing in the 2000 vintage. As great a rosé as I’ve ever experienced.)
