The 2013 Vilmart & Cie Les Blanches Voies Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Brut Champagne is a highly acclaimed vintage, with critics like Antonio Galloni of Vinous rating it 97 points, calling it the best iteration of this wine ever made and a "reference point for Champagnes that are all about elegance and refinement". This Blanc de Blancs, sourced from a single 60-year-old Chardonnay parcel in Rilly-la-Montagne, was disgorged in April 2021 with a low dosage of four grams per liter. It spent 10 months in new 228-liter oak barrels and 84 months on its lees, with malolactic fermentation blocked to preserve freshness. The 2013 growing season in Champagne was long and cool, allowing for extended flavor development, resulting in wines known for their tension and longevity. 【Antonio Galloni's highest-rated iteration of this wine】 Tasting notes reveal a vibrant bouquet of lemon zest, pear, and honeysuckle, mingling with hints of exotic fruit, toasted bread, almonds, and Tahitian vanilla. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, layered, and ample, with an incisive core and a saline signature, concluding with a persistent finish. Wine Spectator describes it as "like white Burgundy, with finely detailed bubbles. Opulent and creamy while expanding on the palate yet refined, refreshing and graceful throughout". It offers notes of white peach, apple, vanilla, and toasted hazelnut, with savory hints of quinine and salinity. This Champagne is poised to evolve beautifully over the next 10 to 15 years. Food pairing suggestions include shellfish, crab, and lobster. Its complexity and elegance also make it suitable for refined cuisine. This exceptional Champagne is perfect for significant celebrations, milestone anniversaries, or as a sophisticated gift for a discerning wine connoisseur. Its aging potential also makes it an excellent addition to a cellar for future enjoyment.
