Its straw-yellow color is accompanied with a fine persistent mousse crowning the disc with a fine and harmonious cord.
On the nose, the first aromas of hazelnut and brioche awake the senses. After a few moments, with much delicacy, subtle notes of vanilla and dried fruit are married with more subtle lemony flavors. The nose is both elegant and powerful, which indicates a wine of great complexity and a beautiful harmony. Once in your mouth, aromas of butter, "crème brûlée" and spices (white pepper) blossom awaken taste buds. It is a gourmand and generous wine with an exceptional freshness. After several minutes of tasting, the complexity and the scarcity of this wine give us an explosion of flavors in the mouth, a real aromatic symphony.
Such an incredible personality for this Champagne! This vivacious wine lets your mind wander from bubbles to
aromas, that may open our heart.
Crayfish and porcini mushrooms, scallop tartare or a "foie gras" pan-fried will bring depth and a beautiful aromatic
evolution.

Aromas of confit citrus, pear, fresh pastry and English walnuts preface Vilmart's 2011 Brut Premier Cru Coeur de Cuvée, a full-bodied, muscular and incisive wine with a deep core, racy acids and a delicately nutty finish. Disgorged a few months ago, it is a terrific effort that transcends the vintage, even if it won't go down as one of the great renditions of Coeur de Cuvée. Champs told me that he picked five or six days after his neighbors, and that appears to be borne out by the wines body and structure.
