Reviewed December 2023Reveals a rapierlike spine of acidity that defines flavors of dried cherry, walnut oil, preserved lemon and pain d'épices, which have greater impact up front and through the midpalate, echoing quietly yet persistently on the finish. (AN)

The 2017 Champagne Grand Cellier d'Or Brut is also 70% Chardonnay and the rest Pinot Noir. The nose is a bit more rounded, with notes of pastry, almond, and ripe peach. The palate is ripe upfront and through the mid-palate, with juicy lime candy, pear, and melon. It has a light confected feel and is open and approachable. (AF)

The 2017 Brut Grand Cellier d' Or is a rich, exuberant wine. In 2017, the Brut Grand Cellier d' Or has an exotic, tropical quality that is a bit unusual, but also incredibly appealing. Hints of mango, passionfruit, citrus confit and white flowers all build nicely in the glass. Medium in body and yet quite resonant, the 2017 is an absolute delight. The 2017 looks to be more of an early-drinking vintage, but I doubt that will be a problem for Vilmart fans. The blend is 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir. Disgorged: July, 2021. (AG)

Rich and round with lots of interesting work around the edges. Very much an artisanal product! Lots to read into this wine. (JR)
Notes
This 80% Chardonnay 20% Pinot Noir champagne is all estate grown and barrel fermented. It combines great richness up front with incredible racy purity on the long back end. -Gary Westby, K&L Champagne Buyer
