Description
The Champagne Brut 1er Cru Grand Réserve from the Vilmart & Cie maison is located in the municipality of Rilly-la-Montagne, on the slopes of the Reims Mountain.
A selection of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes makes up the blend of this exceptional champagne. During the harvest, each bunch is harvested manually, selecting only the best. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels where it acquires an unmistakable roundness and finesse. Without malolactic fermentation, the wine always stays in oak barrels for 10 months, then proceeds with refermentation in the bottle and aging for 3-4 years on the yeasts in the maison's chalk cellars.
It takes on a pale straw yellow color in the glass, enriched by fine and persistent bubbles. Hints of liquorice combine with intriguing fruity notes of pear and peach, giving life to a broad and varied aromatic bouquet. In the mouth it is fresh and balanced, with nice tension, with a long and persistent finish with hints of pastry.
Excellent for accompanying stewed white meats and raw fish.
