Smells of dark cherries, Coke, vanilla, some apple pie, cinnamon. The initial taste is really great - loads of rich, fruity (prunes) and vanilla sweetness, offset with an interesting tannin. It has a medium finish where the oak becomes more pronounced. Best brandy I’ve had in a while. — 12 days ago

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. — 2 years ago

Impenetrable minerality & acid of young GG Riesling meets saline/citron accord of Chablis. Full of energy & verve but needs time. Lovely work. — 3 years ago

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. — a year ago

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 — 2 years ago

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! — 3 years ago

Quite volatile even after a couple hours’ full decant. Settled down to a more expansive saline/mineral/citrus accord. 😐 — 2 years ago
