There is a lot to choose from at Vilmart this year. The 2010 Coeur de Cuvée is au unqualified success in a challenging vintage, while the 2008 Coeur de Cuvée, which is being sold in magnum this year, will thrill those lucky few who are able to find it. Lastly, the Blanc des Blancs Les Blanches Voies, here in its first release, is simply tremendous and also one of the most hauntingly beautiful Champagnes I tasted during my recent trip through the region.

Proprietor Laurent Champs has the magic touch when it comes to crafting wines of sublime finesse and class. All of these Champagnes are vinified in oak, and yet the influence of cooperage is quite discreet. None of the wines undergo malolactic fermentation. Simply put, these are some of the most precise and strikingly beautiful wines being made in Champagne today. I can't recommend these Champagnes highly enough.

Laurent Champs is at the top of his game. This is another stellar set of wines from Vilmart. As always, the Vilmart Champagnes emphasize finesse over power. The wines are all vinified and aged in oak. Blocked malolactic fermentations help give these wines freshness and briskness.
