Vilmart 2016 Premier Cru Champagne ‘Coeur de Cuvee’
Tasting Note
Laurents range of champagnes is almost undoubtedly the most impressive of any growers throughout the world. The fact that there is no chink in the armour or imperfection in any of his wines only amplifies the mind-boggling achievement that is his Coeur de Cuvee. This is his Stairway to Heaven…. His Paint it Black…. His Sergeant Pepper…. His Piece de Resistance. Opening with rich notes of brioche and hazelnut, followed by subtle notes of vanilla and dried fruits with a little citrus lingering in the background. This is one of the most sumptuous and astonishing palates I have ever tasted. Elegant, yet powerful with an harmonious balance. This is a true gourmet wine, both round, ample but with exceptional freshness and persistence. The perfect partner for dishes such as Crayfish, Scallop Tartare or Foie Gras. Chardonnay (80%) Pinot Noir (20%).
