  "This vintage was the last in recent history to be harvested in October. The bright yellow 2013 Champagne Blanc de Blancs is layered and decadent, with aromatics of fresh pastry cream, candied lemon, and almond pastry. Custard-like and bright, it’s medium to full-bodied, refined, and focused, with an elegant, pinpoint, pillowy mousse. The nose is so appealing, decadent, and sweet and the palate focused, tense, and appealing now. The saltiness and mouthwatering citrus oils are bright on the palate, with fabulous energy that lifts and lasts long on the finish. It’s a stunning wine from Vilmart for the ages. Stony and mouthwatering, it feels like it can age without a problem for decades to come. Drink 2025-2055."

  The Wine Advocate
  "Sourced from the lieu-dit Les Blanches Voies, a single parcel in the premier cru of Rilly-la-Montagne planted in 1960, Vilmart’s 2013 Blanc de Blancs Les Blanches Voies was disgorged in April 2021 with a dosage of four grams per liter—the lowest in their range. Matured in entirely new 228-liter barrels from Tonnellerie Rousseau, this Champagne has largely absorbed the oak influence during its seven years sur lattes, followed by four additional years post-disgorgement. It soars from the glass with a vibrant bouquet of lemon zest, pear and honeysuckle mingling with a hint of exotic fruit. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, layered and ample, with an incisive core and a saline signature, concluding with a persistent finish. This Champagne is poised to evolve beautifully over the next 10 to 15 years, unfolding even deeper layers of aromatic complexity with time."
