the 2013 is brilliant and super-expressive

plus some Old World hints of meat and earth

mineral-driven and delightfully floral on the nose

with no trace of overripeness

Vilmart & Cie, Grand Cellier Rubis other_regions the 2013 is brilliant andA well cut Champagne that's vinous in style, with the firm acidity and chalky mouthfeel creating a structured frame for the vivid range of pureed raspberry and steeped black cherry, star anise, citrus peel, violet and medicinal herb notes. Long, creamy finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged January 2018. Best from 2022 through 2035.
