Vilmart et Cie "Coeur de Cuvee" Brut Champagne 2014

Vinous - Antonio Galloni

(11/2022) The 2014 Brut Coeur de Cuvee impresses with its density and overall energy. Apricot, baked apple tart, spice, chamomile and lightly honeyed accents all meld together. The 2014 is deep and beautifully centered, with tons of poise and impeccable balance. It's a pretty big wine by Vilmart standards, and yet all the elements are so well put together. The blend is 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir. Disgorged: March, 2021. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2030.

(11/7/2022) Made from 80% Chardonnay and the rest Pinot Noir, the 2014 Champagne Coeur de Cuvee Brut is custardy with creme brulee, lemon curd, brioche, and green apple. The mousse is creamy and round, with salted lemon on the finish. Drink this lovely, decadent-slanting wine over the coming two decades. Maturity: 2022 - 2042.
