Vilmart Coeur de Cuvée Brut 2009

Amber-kissed gold with eight years of post-disgorgement development showing in every sip. Toasted brioche, candied orange peel, dried fig and a whisper of beeswax, this is Vilmart in a generous, open-hearted mood. Fine, persistent bubbles carry the wine through a long, warm finish with just enough freshness to keep things lively. Drink now through 2026; the 2009 vintage leans forward rather than cellar-worthy.
