Righteously representative #alsaceriesling - lemon, acacia, delicate white flower aromas, dazzling acidity on the palate, some slight spicy notes on the finish. At this age there are no petrol notes which the wife appreciated. — 13 days ago

9.1

Cote du Rhône blend of Grenache (60%) and Syrah (40%). Deep garnet color with a ruby core. Aromas of red and black berry fruit, garrigue and baking spices. Same fruit flavors (very ripe) with notes of black licorice, black pepper and vanilla. Medium-plus finish and well balanced acidity. Smooth texture and tannins. This wine expresses the two varietals in the blend beautifully. Exceptional quality for the price. Revisited in February 2025. Solid. — 8 months ago

Dark color for a burgundy. 2022.
Smoky oak on nose. Classic burgundy. Pure fruit. Balance with tannins and acidity. Sure drinkable and well made. Exc. — a month ago

Pale-medium lemon color.
Aromas of lemonade, honeydew, pear, subtle minerality.
Dry. Flavors of warm lemon, gritty pear, honeydew, subtle vegetal undertone (balanced), subtle well integrated custard notes, wet stone. From one vintage to the next, this wine never disappoints!

Opened during the WB virtual taste with Thomas Champs of the Vilmart family.

Disgorged April 2022; 70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot noir; 7g/dosage; no malo; 10months in oak

While I’ve had Vilmart before, I’ve not focused on the wine and its history before the way I did with this virtual taste. Normally 7g/l dosage starts to cause me to pause, but this is another example of how dosage plays so many different instruments aside from sweetness. Beautiful texture and precision. Slight reduction upon opening. Brioche, lemon cream, honeycrisp apple (not tart; ripe), sea salt, faint honey. The mineral/chalk profile is upfront and the mousse is really nice and soft/creamy. A wonderful balance in acid, fruit, texture.

Followed over two days, and I may have enjoyed day two a small bit more! Always an incredible value. — 5 months ago
