  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
  With additional time following disgorgement, Vilmart’s 2013 Blanc de Blancs Les Blanches Voies, disgorged in April 2021 with a dosage of four grams per liter, continues its glacial evolution. It unwinds in the glass with an expressive bouquet of lemon oil, nashi pear and white flowers mingled with toasted bread, almonds and a hint of Tahitian vanilla. Medium- to full-bodied, ample and incisive, it is built around a crisp core of fruit and chalky structure, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. Possessing abundant energy, it appears destined to be a long-distance runner. Readers will recall from my earlier writing that this rendition was matured for 10 months in entirely new barrels from Tonnellerie Rousseau."
