Vilmart remains a reference point for Champagnes that are all about elegance and refinement. I tasted through a number of new releases and also had a chance to revisit some wines from last year that showed poorly at the offices of Vilmart’s US importer. Of note is the new Grand Cellier Oenothèque T15, a late release of the Grand Cellier. The 2013 Les Blanches Voies is stellar, but the 2015 Coeur de Cuvée is even more impressive given the challenges of that year. As always, the wines are vinified and aged in oak, with the wood used discretely to shape Champagnes that are all finesse.

Laurent Champs makes wines of exquisite elegance and class. This is Champagne at its most refined. The flagship wines, the 2014 Coeur de Cuvée and 2012 Les Blanches Voies, are both stellar. I am less convinced by the Rosé Emotion, which I tasted in both the 2013 and 2014 editions. Pinot Noir-heavy Rosés are tricky, as they can start to show faded, oxidative flavors over time, which is how these two wines showed in my tastings.
