Vilmart & Cie Grande Reserve Premier Cru Brut NV

Producer Tasting Notes

The pale colour with traces of silver announce a majority of Pinot Noir with an excellent maturity. It’s followed by a delicate effervescence. The fine bubbles, delicate and persistent, will enhace the vivacity and its elegance to the surface. The first impression on the nose, is marked by a great intensity. It will open up on a rich bouquet of pastries, with notes of frangipane and honeysuckle, with attractive aromas of pepper mint flagrance. After the opening, you are able to feel notes of pear and peach syrup, developing the intensity of this champagne. On the palate, you can feel a fresh and a sharp attack of candied fruits. It reveals a beautiful balance between the richness and the tension with a complex structure. The bitterness of the citrus fruits is perfectly integrated with further flavours of pastries which remain present throughout the long, fine finish.
