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.
