Vilmart & Cie

Grande Réserve Brut Champagne Blend

David T
9.1

Vilmart is a producer that I don’t see posted often. I visited this property in 10/22. Ate the fruit they left behind two- three weeks after they picked the Pinot Noir in their Clos des Goisses vineyard. So bloody delicious. Once you’ve had a steady diet of vineyard grapes, you can no longer eat table grapes. The thing to know about Vilmart, they embrace neutral wood barrels. It’s what makes their cuvées so complex…the wood & air. This is one of their entry level cuvées.

Tonight is a four-course…finishing w/ apple tart from the farmers market. Pairs nicely. The palate is; golden & green bruised apple, Bosc pear, tropical fruits-green melon, kiwi, pineapple juice, lemon & lime flesh, tangerine hues, saline/sea spray, toast, brioche, vanillin, cream, touch of ginger, moist, fine chalkiness, grey volcanic minerals, beautiful acidity, yellow lilies, jasmine, well balanced and polished finish that lasts minutes. From 375ml.

Podere le Boncie (Giovanna Morganti)

Le Trame Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2018

Lovely to see all the elements in this integrate over the three hours we enjoyed it. Beautiful accord of juicy Sangiovese fruit, light tannin, acid. Mid is youthful & juicy but the finish is ethereal. Drinking nicely with a long decant — 3 years ago

@Lyle Fass agreed. Certainly up there with Flacc. Another one for me is the Rufina Bucerchiale.

Envinate

Palo Blanco Valle de la Orotava Listan Blanco 2020

Quite volatile even after a couple hours’ full decant. Settled down to a more expansive saline/mineral/citrus accord. 😐 — a year ago

Another nice picture.

Morlet Family Vineyards

Ma Princesse Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2019

Pure decadence! Initial impressions of lemon custard rippled heavily with pure sweet vanilla eventually give way to flavors of baked apricots and peaches.

Luc Morlet, the previous wine maker from Peter Michael, certainly knows how to make a good wine. A few of you that have posted other wines from their portfolio can vouch on the increasing difficulty to find their allocations. Definitely buy when you find!

Château Philippe-le-Hardi

Mercurey Chardonnay 2018

Not sure if I’m connected to the correct wine. This was rated 90 on some review (posted at Pruetts) and highly recommended by Bill the Wine Guy. $32. Smooth, sweet without being sweet. Not oaky but a bit buttery. — 10 months ago

Château Charmail

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

Not any better than the bottle I had last year, not even a Wagyu New York strip helped it out. Strangely didn’t realize I had this last January until I posted it just now and looked up others rating’s🤷🏼‍♂️

I should look these things up before I open a bottle

Forja del Salnes

Leirana Finca Genoveva Albarino 2020

Impenetrable minerality & acid of young GG Riesling meets saline/citron accord of Chablis. Full of energy & verve but needs time. Lovely work. — 2 years ago

Domaine Jamet

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2012

One of the great vintages of Jamet that I have posted on many times. Youthful, incredibly complex showing power & finesse with notes of black cherry, graphite, inky, licorice, smoke, meat, floral, polished that is silky with rose petal & violet. — 3 years ago
