Champagne Vilmart & Cie Coeur de Cuvée Brut Premier Cru 2015
HVE Level 3 Certified Sustainable, Certified Vituculture Durable with Biodynamic Practices
25% OFF RETAIL!
If Champagne could be a symphony, Cœur de Cuvée 2015 would be a grand crescendo—bold, expressive, and harmoniously composed. Sourced from old-vine Chardonnay (80%) and Pinot Noir (20%), this barrel-fermented beauty from Vilmart delivers waves of golden orchard fruit, roasted hazelnuts, and a whisper of vanilla from its time in oak. The structure is firm, the mousse refined, and the finish lingers like a melody you don’t want to end. A Champagne that is both opulent and electric, built for the ages.
About The Producer
“Vilmart & Cie. traces its history back to 1890, when it was founded by Désiré Vilmart, and from the beginning, Vilmart & Cie. has always been a récoltant-manipulant, making champagne exclusively from estate-owned vines. Since 1989 the estate has been in the hands of Laurent Champs, the fifth generation of the family to take the helm of the house.
The majority of Vilmart’s 11 hectares of vines lie in Rilly-la-Montagne, although there are a few plots just over the border in the neighboring village of Villers-Allerand. Vilmart is a member of Ampelos, an organization that promotes organic and sustainable viticulture, and Champs has never used any herbicides or chemical fertilizers since taking over the estate. All of the vineyards are planted with cover crops and plowed, and Champs enjoys an additional advantage in that his parcels are relatively large—only 12 different parcels over 11 hectares—meaning that he is more protected from contamination by chemical treatments in neighboring plots.
Vilmart & Cie. is not only one of the greatest grower-estates in Champagne but one of the finest champagne producers of any type in the region.”
