Vilmart - Champagner EMOTION Brut Rose 1er Cru 2012

The Wine Advocate: "Disgorged in January 2018, Vilmart's new 2012 Brut Emotion is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of orange oil, red berries, yellow plums and toasted almonds. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's racy and incisive, with chalky structuring extract and a pillowy mousse, concluding with a penetrating finish. It's a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay from 45-year-old vines, vinified in barrels for 10 months without malolactic fermentation."
