FEATURES
The Vilmart & Cie Emotion Brut 2015 is a highly regarded Rosé Champagne, a refined sparkling wine from France's Champagne region. This cuvée is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir (made as a Rosé de Saignée) and 40% Chardonnay, sourced from 60-year-old Premier Cru vines. It undergoes ten months of aging in 228-liter oak barrels and then spends sixty months on lees in the cellars after bottling, without malolactic fermentation. The 2015 vintage has been well-received by critics, with Vinous, Jeb Dunnuck, and The Wine Independent all awarding it 93 points, noting its complexity and aging potential. It was disgorged in February 2022.
