About this Item

Vilmart et Cie
Coeur de Cuvée 1er Cru Brut, 2004
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

Champagne Vilmart is a Champagne house situated in the small village of Rilly la Montagne in the heart of the Montagne de Reims. It was founded in 1890 by Desiré Vilmart and has passed down the family since. The majority of Vilmart’s 11 hectares of vines lie in Rilly-la-Montagne, although there are a few plots just over the border in the neighboring village of Villers-Allerand. Vilmart is a member of Ampelos, an organization that promotes organic and sustainable viticulture, and Champs has never used any herbicides or chemical fertilizers since taking over the estate.

Critics Ratings

‘The 2004 Brut Premier Cru Coeur de Cuvee could not be more different than the 2003. Bright floral aromatics meld into white fleshed fruit, spices and crushed rocks as the 2004 opens up in the glass. There is a crystalline purity to the 2004 that is striking. A weightless, totally pure wine, the 2004 Coeur de Cuvee impresses for its fabulous length, and vibrant, chiselled finish. This is a great showing from Vilmart and proprietor Laurent Champs. The 2004 is 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir from the Blanches Voies Hautes in Rilly la Montagne. Disgorgement date: December 2011. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024.’ - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, 95/100 (Oct 2012)

‘Shows lovely texture, with fine balance between the wine's finesse and its rich layers of poached apple, pastry, black currant candy, spun honey and orange zest. Silky and mouthwatering throughout, with a long, spiced finish. Drink now through 2027.’ - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 94/100 (Nov 2012)

‘This is an ultra­rich, full and elegant selection. It's intense and concentrated, a serious wine that speaks of its fine depth of flavor and weight. Now ready to drink.’ - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 93/100 (Dec 2012)
