Vilmart - Champagner Rubis Brut Rose 1er Cru

ANTONIO GALLONI: "The NV Cuvée Rubis, Vilmart's non-vintage Rosé, is bright, crisp and airy. Subtle floral-infused aromatics and bright red-toned fruit give the Rubis its understated, gracious personality. White pepper, chalk and floral notes add attractive top notes. This release is a blend of 2016 and 2015, and it is terrific. Disgorged: November, 2017."

THE WINEADVOCATE: "Generous and expressive, the latest rendition of Vilmart's NV Brut Premier Cru Cuvée Rubis is showing very well, bursting with aromas of red berries, plums, blood orange and dried flowers. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a sapid core of fruit, a pillowy mousse and a lively, delicately phenolic finish, it's already drinking well. This is based on the 2017 vintage, with reserve wines from the 2016 and 2015 vintages, and it was disgorged with nine grams per liter dosage."

WINESPECTATOR: "Lovely aromas of lilac and star anise waft from the glass of this graceful rosé Champagne, but there's a pleasing tautness imparted by the backbone of fresh acidity, well-meshed with flavors of ripe and fleshy white cherry and apricot fruit, pink grapefruit sorbet and pickled ginger. Fine, satiny finish. Disgorged June 2019. Drink now through 2025."
