Laurent Champs’ Coeur is driven the top fruit from Vilmart’s 1er Cru holdings in Rilly-la-Montagne. A blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir from 55 year massale selection old vines. No malo, aged 10 months in barrique, and released after 72+ months of ageing on the lees, this beauty is ready to roll and is sure to age gracefully for another 10+ years.

“The 2015 Brut Coeur de Cuvée is a pretty dense wine that belies its deceptively mid-weight structure. What surprises me most about the 2015 is how closed it is. In most years, especially warm years, Coeur de Cuvée is quite a bit more open and voluptuous, but the 2015 does not come across like that at all. Rather, it is super-classic in bearing, with tons of gravitas from the 60-year-old vines just waiting to emerge. There are non of the awkward herbal notes that penalize so many wines. Bright saline notes extend the finish effortlessly. The 2015 is a brilliant Coeur de Cuvée.” – Antonio Galloni
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
"Fragrant, with wafts of lime blossoms and exotic cardamom, anise and saffron spices, this weaves a firm streak of racy acidity with a satiny texture and finely detailed notes of crushed blackberry, ripe yellow peach, blanched almond and a crackle of fleur de sel, which lingers on the lively, lasting finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Disgorged March 2022. Best from 2025 through 2033."
