Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. Serve chilled.

Located in Rilly la Montagne in the northern part of the Montagne de Reims, the Vilmart & Cie winery was founded in 1890 and is today led by Laurent Champs, the last descendant of the Vilmart family and Chef de Cave. The company cultivates its 11 hectares of vineyards, all Premier Cru, with an organic approach. Fermentation and aging take place in wood and malolactic fermentation is not carried out to preserve the natural acidity of the grapes. Although the area is historically known for Pinot Noir, the Vilmart & Cie grows mainly Chardonnay, producing wines with great personality, widely known throughout the world.

The Brut 1er Cru "Grand Cellier" of the Vilmart & Cie is a wine characterized by excellent complexity deriving from the fermentation in the cask. Thanks to the absence of malolactic fermentation, the wine has a marked acid note, which gives it great balance and elegance.

In the glass, this Champagne shows a fine and very persistent perlage and a brilliant straw yellow color with golden reflections. Its aromatic profile is full of citrus and floral notes, followed by buttery hints. On the palate, it is soft and refreshing, mineral and harmonious. It is perfect as an aperitif and excellent with oysters, but it goes well also with shellfish and fish dishes.
