Vilmart & Cie's Les Blanches Voies 2013 is a 100% Chardonnay from vines Premier Cru in Rilly-la-Montagne. Carefully cultivated to Viticulture Durable and Haute Valeur Environnementale standards, these 60-year-old vines bear witness to Maison Vilmart's respect for its exceptional terroir. Vinification, without malolactic fermentation, is distinguished by maturation in 228-liter oak barrels for ten months, followed by 84 months of extended aging on the lees in the cellar.
This Champagne has a lemon-yellow color with silver highlights, and a fine, delicate effervescence. The powerful nose opens with aromas of jasmine, orange and peppermint, evolving towards more gourmand notes of bourbon vanilla, custard and apple crumble. On the palate, the attack is savory and enveloping, marked by flavors of marmalade and lemon tart, before giving way to a fresh finish, carried by notes of pear and white peach.
With a dosage of 4 g/l, Les Blanches Voies 2013 combines finesse and depth, and is ideal with dishes such as scallops, sweetbreads or seafood like oysters and caviar. Produced in a limited edition of 3600 numbered bottles, this cuvée embodies the elegance and precision of Vilmart & Cie's expertise.
