Vilmart - Champagner Grand Cellier Oenotheque T14 Brut 1er Cru

The Wine Advocate: "Vilmart’s NV Grand Cellier Oenothèque T14, representing the 2014 tirage, was bottled in 2014 with a base vintage of 2013, supplemented by 50% reserve wines from 2012 and 2011. Disgorged in April 2021 with a dosage of seven grams per liter, this late release of Grand Cellier is a typical blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir. It bursts from the glass with an enticing bouquet of candied pear, toasted nuts and spices, mingling with tangerine zest. The palate is full-bodied, ample and concentrated, with good cut and grip and a generous core of fruit. Rich and gourmand in style, it showcases the transformative impact of post-disgorgement maturation on the cuvée. With only 800 bottles produced, this is a wine ready to be enjoyed immediately."
