Vilmart Grand Cellier d'Or 2013

Honeyed pear, warm brioche and baked apple open with real confidence, the kind of richness you'd expect from a bottle disgorged in July 2017 and given time to knit together. Fine bubbles carry the wine with effortless lift, threading stony precision and citrus pith through the generous, layered mid-palate. There's genuine depth here without any heaviness, a balance that feels distinctly Vilmart. Drinking beautifully now but has years of evolution still ahead.
