Base wine spends 10 months in oak, organically farmed grapes. Bright and lively with pronounced red cherry and citrus fruit. Linear, fruit-driven and very pure with a hint of apple as well as pure lemony fruit. The acid is really well integrated and the sweetness of the dosage rounds everything up beautifully. Really nice balance. 93\/100 (\u00a330 The Wine Society, Virgin Wines)<\/p>\n<p>Find these wines with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>GROWER CHAMPAGNE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/champagne-agrapart-avizoise-extra-brut-grand-cru-2008\" target=\"_blank\">Agrapart Avizoise Extra Brut Grand Cru 2008<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/champagne-gimonnet-blanc-de-blancs-cuvee-cuis-1er-cru-nv\" target=\"_blank\">Gimonnet Blanc de Blancs Cuvee Cuis 1er Cru NV<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/champagne-vilmart-cie-grand-cellier\" target=\"_blank\">Vimart et Cie Grand Cellier NV<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/another-lovely-champagne-gatinois-ay-grand-cru-nv\" target=\"_blank\">Gatinois A\u00ff Grand Cru Brut Tradition NV<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/champagne-michel-arnould-grand-cru-brut-reserve-nv-france\" target=\"_blank\">Michel Arnould Grand Cru Brut R\u00e9serve NV<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/ulysse-collin-les-maillons-blanc-de-noirs-a-sensational-champagne\" target=\"_blank\">Ulysse Collin Blanc de Noirs Les Maillons Extra Brut NV France<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/champagne-eric-rodez-blanc-de-noirs-grand-cru\" target=\"_blank\">Eric Rodez Blanc de Noirs NV<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/champagne-pierre-peters-cuvee-du-reserve-blanc-de-blancs-grand-cru\" target=\"_blank\">Pierre P\u00e9ters Cuv\u00e9e du R\u00e9serve Blanc de Blancs Brut Grand Cru NV France<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/champagne-rl-legras-blanc-de-blancs-grand-cru\" target=\"_blank\">R&amp;L Legras Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru NV<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/champagne-bereche-et-fils-campania-remensis-extra-brut-rose\" target=\"_blank\">B\u00e9r\u00eache et Fils Campania Remensis Extra Brut Ros\u00e9 NV<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/a-great-lunch-at-social-wine-and-tapas-with-savart-and-pignan\" target=\"_blank\">Savart L\u2019Ouverture Premier Cru NV<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/champagne-raphael-vincent-bereche-montagne-2004\" target=\"_blank\">Rapha\u00ebl &amp; Vincent B\u00e9r\u00eache Montagne Premier Cru 2004<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/two-from-champagne-savart\" target=\"_blank\">Savart L\u2019Accomplie 1er Cru NV<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/champagne-vilmart-et-cie-grand-cellier-dor-premier-cru-2010\" target=\"_blank\">Vilmart et Cie Grand Cellier d&#8217;Or Premier Cru 2010<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/champagne-marie-noelle-ledru-grand-cru-nv\" target=\"_blank\">Champagne Marie-No\u00eblle Ledru Grand Cru NV<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/champagne-pierre-peters-rose-for-albane\" target=\"_blank\">Champagne Pierre P\u00e9ters Ros\u00e9 for Albane<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/christmas-grower-champagne-legras-presidence-2007-savart-louverture-and-selosse-initial\" target=\"_blank\">Christmas Grower Champagne: Legras Presidence 2007, Savart L&#8217;Ouverture and Selosse Initial<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/grower-champagne-focus-gimonnet-cuvee-fleuron-1er-cru-blanc-de-blancs-2006\" target=\"_blank\">Gimonnet Cuv\u00e9e Fleuron 2006<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/uncategorized\/grower-champagne-focus-the-remarkable-gimonnet-oenophile-2005\" target=\"_blank\">Gimonnet Oenophile 2005<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/grower-champagne-focus-selosse-initial\" target=\"_blank\">Selosse Initial NV<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/grower-champagne-focus-leclepart-charlot-tanneux-emmanuel-brochet-chevreaux-bournazel\" target=\"_blank\">L\u00e9clapart, Charlot-Tanneux, Emmanuel Brochet, Chevreaux-Bournazel<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/grower-champagne-a-lavasseur-from-the-marne\" target=\"_blank\">The wines of A Levasseur, Marne<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Vilmart et Cie Grande Reserve Premier Cru<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vilmart makes some excellent Champagne.
