98 Point Value, Cree wine Company - Leads off with amazing aromas of toasted brioche, apple, & quince with a citrus undertone. Fine and lively on the palate from its extended aging in the bottle, complex, hints of grilled nuts, with layers of complexity and a lovely mineral crisp framework in support. Stunning wine, and you can save as much as $25 per bottle! Cheers! Chris Cree MW

94+ Points, Wine Advocate - “Sourced from the lieu-dit Les Blanches Voies in Rilly-la-Montagne, the same vineyard that supplies their Blanc de Blancs, Vilmart & Cie’s 2020 Grand Cellier d’Or is a resounding success. Informed by 50-year-old, south-facing vines and framed by élevage in 228-liter barrels, this cuvée follows the signature blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir. Laurent Champs recalls 2020 as a year of exceptional quality, if not quantity.

Disgorged in July 2024 with a dosage of seven grams per liter, it soars from the glass with aromas of dried flowers, vanilla, lemon zest and pear, mingling with spices. On the palate, it is deep and tensile, structured around vivid acidity, perfectly capturing the hard-to-strike balance between richness and freshness, concluding with a long, precise finish.”
