Generous yet with a touch of green underneath on this disgorgement. The minerality and pithy fruit mingled well. Always find this wine utterly delicious, but more on its detail and balance. This was a more pliant and soft offering without any complaints from me. 6/2019 disgorgement 30 CH 70 PN

Lemon curd with a graham cracker crust. Very fine bubbles and balance makes this exceptional. 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay Disgorged 2/2019. MS

We powered thru 6 Magnums during our wedding last Sunday. We had a nice selection of Bubbles in 750s as well

Pale lemon with very fine bead. Chalky aromas and amazing Limey notes for a blend with 70% Pinot Noir. Blend of 3 years with low oak influence and lively acid. I love Vilmarts top cuvée, the Coeur de Cuvee, and this Grande Reserve is one of the best entry level Champers going around at only $60.

Delicious weight of fruit and freshness from this small grower producing lovely wines from Premier Crû vineyards. 70% Pinot Noir & 30% Chardonnay, this wine spends 10 months in oak before 2nd fermentation and this comes through in the full weight of the mid palate.

70% PN, 30% Chardonnay, 2014 disgorgement: lovely golden hues, brioche, biscuit; depth of flavour with latent citrus acidity.

1 year post disgorgement and after 4 days in fridge this has developed Bollinger toast notes but unlike Bollinger there is real fruit flavour.
