Maison Vilmart & Cie – The Artisan Excellence of Champagne
Founded in 1890 in Rilly-la-Montagne, Maison Vilmart & Cie is a family-owned, independent house that embodies Champagne excellence through a unique artisanal approach. For five generations, it has crafted characterful champagnes with precision and deep respect for its terroir.
Located in a Premier Cru village in the Montagne de Reims, Vilmart carefully tends its 11-hectare vineyard, embracing environmentally conscious viticulture.
