Vilmart
Champagne Vilmart is één van de beste Champagne-domeinen (geen-merk Champagne !) en geniet wereldwijd een bijzondere reputatie. Afkomstig van 100% eigen, ecologisch geteelde wijngaarden. Laurent Champs, de huidige generatie, tilde het domein naar het hoogst mogelijke niveau. Alle Champagnes worden opgevoed op eiken vaten & foudres en ondergaan geen malolactische fermentatie. Het resultaat is verbluffend: Bijzonder frisse & complexe stijl. Romig en zijdezacht en bouche, met prachtige aroma’s & een onvoorstelbare finesse. Pure emotie in het glas. Dít is Champagne !

Parker review
With crystalline purity and more tension than any other wine in this year’s lineup, Vilmart’s 2016 Coeur de Cuvée has put up a stellar performance. Disgorged in September 2022 with a dosage of seven grams per liter, it hails from 60-year-old vines in the lieu-dit Les Blanches Voies—the same five-hectare vineyard that provides their Blanc de Blancs. Matured in 228-liter barrels, mostly from Damy, it wafts from the glass with a deep bouquet of lemon zest, white flowers and green apple. Taut and incisive, with impressive mid-palate amplitude, racy acidity and ample chalky structuring extract, it culminates with a long, saline finish. This is an elegant Champagne that will captivate purists, offering great precision and nuance. As ever, it’s crafted from the least fruit-forward, most acid-driven press fraction—just 68%—representing the heart of the cuvée. 95+

Antonio Galloni's Vinous.com: 94+/100 The 2016 Brut Coeur de Cuvée is an elegant, sensual Champagne. In other words, classic Vilmart. Crushed flowers, mint, chalk, slate, dried herbs and citrus peel are all beautifully delineated. Brisk acids wrap it all together in style. The 2016 needs a few years to be at its most expressive, as it is pretty reserved today. Even so, all the elements are impeccably put together. The barrels used here are one to three years old. Dosage is 7 grams per liter.
JebDunnuck.com: 95/100 Also 80% Chardonnay, the 2016 Champagne 1er Cru Coeur De Cuvée Brut is a bright yellow color and is a bit more shy at this stage on the nose compared to the Grand Cellier D'Or, with notes of lemon candies, green apples, baking spices, and delicate fresh baked brioche. Driving, with more linear persistence in its acidity, it’s citrus-driven on the palate, with a zesty, spritely mousse and a clean, chalky finish with just a hint of bitter citrus. This one feels as though it needs more time at this stage to open up and come around, but it has a lot of potential. Drink it over the coming 10-15 years.
