  The NV Champagne 1er Cru Grande Reserve Brut is 70% Pinot Noir and the rest Chardonnay based on the 2021 vintage. Revealing a bright yellow hue, it’s a lovely entry to this range with aromas of orange custard, shortbread, strawberries, and fresh flowers. Medium-bodied, it fills the palate and has a rich, silky texture, a clean, citrus-noted finish, and a refined mousse that frames it beautifully. Drink over the next 8-10 years. It was disgorged in July 2023."

  A blend of pinot noir (70%) and chardonnay (30%), this has a profound sense of harmony on both the nose and palate. Aromas of grilled nuts, pepper and lightly spiced wild raspberry fruits are pristine, leading to a palate that has beautifully supple, fleshy texture. The acidity is assertive, not harsh; the depth, balance and concentration is really something. Drink now whilst fresh or up to three years."

  A vibrant Champagne, with a firm frame of acidity well-meshed with flavors of crushed white cherry, tangerine peel, oyster shell and blanched almond. Fine and creamy. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged September 2024. Drink now. 750 cases imported."

  Based on the 2020 vintage with 50% of reserve wines from the previous two years, the Vilmart Grand Réserve NV is a 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay blend that is barrel fermented with ten months on lees prior to second fermentation and disgorgement December 2022. It was finished with an eight grams per liter dosage. Burnished gold with columns of exuberant bubbles, it opens with slightly oxidative notes of bruised apple that give way to fresh Anjou pear, white grapefruit peel, verbena blossoms and toast. Medium-bodied with incisive acid freshness and subdued orchard fruit, it finishes with a long, mineral note."

  Falstaff
  Goldgelb, lang anhaltendes feines Mousseux. Spannende Frucht nach gereifter Birne und Aprikose, kandierte Trockenfrüchte, Orange und Ingwer, pfeffrig mit feiner Briochenote. Ziselierende rassige Säure mit eleganter Frische und feiner Extraktsüße, cremig anhaftend mit feingliedriger Mineralik, im Nachgeschmack zart nussig und würzig mit großer Länge und Eleganz."

  Quite a colour and density. Dry finish but lots of interest and detail on the way there. Finesse is arguably not its strong point, but intrigue definitely is. Long and reverberant."

  The Wine Advocate
  Based on the 2023 vintage complemented by reserve wines from 2022 and 2021, the latest release of Vilmart & Cie's NV Grande Réserve was disgorged in July 2025 with a dosage of six grams per liter. It unfurls in the glass with aromas of Granny Smith apple, nashi pear and quince, with a subtle top note of Savoy cabbage. Medium-bodied, fleshy and incisive, it offers a racy, energetic profile, though this rendition appears slightly less complete than usual and is a touch reduced. The blend remains the same, comprising 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay."
