Vilmart Grand Cellier d' Or Brut 2016

Pale gold with a fine, persistent bead that carries a quiet elegance through every sip. White peach, lemon curd and chalk dust open things up, with a thread of dried flowers running underneath. Focused and taut on the palate, the acidity is precise without being sharp, and the finish lingers with a clean, stony lift. This is Champagne built on restraint, unhurried, composed, and all the better for it. Drink now through 2028.
