Vilmart Family Maison that sees its origins in 1890 with Désiré Vilmart. Laurent Champs, (chef de cave, last descendant and fifth generation of the Vilmart family) accompanies the organic approach with a traditional vinification in which fermentation and aging take place in wood and, above all, there is no malolactic so the natural acidity of the grapes remains intact. The property, located in the Montagne de Reims region, consists of 11 hectares divided into 12 parcels. Seven Cuvées are produced.

THE WINE:
Straw yellow with golden and greenish reflections. This wine develops an elegant and long-lasting foam. The nose immediately perceives hints of white flowers, citrus as well as fresh butter and cream. The wine reveals spicy notes of ginger that were unexpected until then. The palate is lively with a delicate effervescence. The wine's frank vinosity (round and alcoholic) gives an impression of strength and freshness. The wine appears both broad and tight. This varied sensation produces a creamy and pure structure to the wine. The finish is clean, slightly mineral and long.
