Drawn from the heart of the first pressing, Coeur de Cuvée is one of Vilmart’s top bottlings from old vines in Rilly-la-Montagne. The domaine is known for fermenting and aging its base wines in oak and avoiding malolactic fermentation, a cellar approach that gives this cuvée a very distinctive place among grower Champagnes.

Wine Advocate
“Disgorged in February 2017, this rendition of Vilmart's 2010 Coeur de Cuvée is still very tightly wound, unfurling in the glass with aromas of lemon oil, crisp green apples, white flowers and subtle hints of praline that has almost entirely integrated its framing of recently used wood. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, broad and vinous, with superb concentration, an electric line of acidity and a deep, tight-knit core, concluding with a long, tongue-tinglingly chalky finish. This is a superb Coeur de Cuvée, but it will need more time on cork to realize all its potential. (94+) (WK)” (04/2019)
