    The Vilmart Grand Cellier, a distinguished offering from Vilmart Champagne, showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of winemaker Laurent Champs. As a blend that speaks to the heart of the champagne tradition, it stands out for its impeccable balance and intriguing flavor profile, sure to captivate anyone with a taste for fine bubbly.

The bubbles, fine and dynamic, dance through the calm effervescence, hinting at the quality and care taken in every bottle’s creation.

    A sniff of this champagne reveals a complex and elegant aroma, woven with wild strawberries, mango, and a hint of exotic wood. As it breathes, layers of fresh apricot and bergamot emerge, creating an enticing bouquet that promises a unique tasting experience. The skillful blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir, cultivated with respect for the environment and the terroir, adds to its allure.

    On the palate, Vilmart Grand Cellier does not disappoint. It starts with a sharp, citrusy attack, evolving into rich notes of yellow fruit. This progression showcases a perfectly balanced champagne, with a lingering lemon zest finish that leaves a clean, slightly mineral aftertaste. The lasting impression is one of grapefruit, encapsulating the lively and dynamic essence of the wine.

    When it comes to pairing, this champagne is a versatile companion. It shines alongside soft and creamy textured dishes, enhancing the flavors of delicate fish like sole or turbot with mild sauces, as well as fine crustaceans such as prawns or oysters. Moreover, its elegance makes it an ideal choice for an aperitif, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience. This winery also produces the finest pierre cellier champagne, as well.

    Critical Acclaim

    Wine Spectator
    A mouthwatering Champagne that shows seamless integration of the plush and creamy mousse, rapierlike acidity and expressive range of peach, chopped nut, ripe green apple, star anise and honeysuckle aromas and flavors that persist on the long finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

    Jeb Dunnuck
    Made from 70% Chardonnay and the remainder Pinot Noir, the NV Champagne Grand Cellier Brut was raised for 10 months in large foudre before spending 30 months sur latte. The nose is rounded and soft, with a delicate perfume of vanilla pastry, Anjou pear, and white flowers. The palate is rounded but dry, with citrus zest that lifts through the modest finish. Best After 2023.
    WAS 92
    Wine & Spirits
    This is a 70-30 blend of chardonnay and pinot noir grown in clay-limestone soils. The components come from harvests in 2014 through ’16, the wines aged 10 months in foudre. It’s spicy in its structure and lasting in its fruit, with flavors ranging from the red blush of pear skin to orange and dry pineapple. Powerful, generous and still tight, this should develop well over the next several years.
