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. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, nurtured in chalky soils, undergo meticulous vinification, exclusively in oak barrels—a rare practice that lends the champagnes a silky texture and remarkable aromatic depth.
The house avoids malolactic fermentation, preserving the wines’ freshness and purity. Its flagship cuvée, Cœur de Cuvée, made from the oldest vines, epitomizes the Vilmart style: a perfect balance of power, finesse, and elegance.
Highly regarded by connoisseurs and sommeliers worldwide, Vilmart & Cie remains one of Champagne’s best-kept secrets, blending tradition with innovation to create truly exceptional wines, crafted for emotion and fine dining.
Celebris Blanc de Blancs 2012 is the first vintage of this prestigious Cuvée which expresses the quintessence of the Gosset style: extreme freshness complemented by depth and aromatic complexity, obtained through long maturation in the cellar.
The Cuvée Sainte Anne owes its name to the Holy Protector of the Village of Merfy where the Maison Chartogne-Taillet is based. This Champagne is the association of all the plots of Maison Chartogne-Taillet on the Merfy terroir and the three main Champagne grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
“Les Ribauds” plot reveals an atypical expression of Pinot Meunier: richness and roundness with, in particular, notes of quite ripe red fruits. The silts of the soil soften the clays: we find a certain freshness as well as spicy notes.
Bruno Paillard Dosage Zéro is a selection from the first pressing of the three grape varieties and for the majority vinified in small oak barrels. The “reserve wines” account for half of the blend. The aging is extended well beyond the legal duration: 3 to 4 years in bottle "on the lees" followed by 6 months of rest after disgorging. Dosage: zero.
Henri Giraud Hommage au Pinot Noir is, as its name suggests, a Blanc de Noirs Champagne made from the historic terroirs of the House in Aÿ. This grape variety brings a lot of roundness, complexity and elegance, enhanced by aging in small oak barrels.
Created by the founder of the house, Eugène Moussé, 100 years ago, this cuvée has become a reflection of the Moussé Fils terroir. It is made from a perpetual reserve (solera) with wines dating from 2003 to 2020 and refreshed each year with 50% of the new harvest.
Bruno Paillard Première Cuvée is a selection of first press exclusively from more than 30 the noblest terroirs of Champagne. A large proportion of reserve wines (25 vintages since 1985) are incorporated into the blend.
Gosset Grande Réserve is the reflection of the know-how of the House, a selection of the best terroirs: Aÿ, Bouzy, Ambonnay, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Villers-Marmery… Vinification and traditional aging on lees to avoid any premature oxidation. No malolactic fermentation to ensure remarkable aging and preserve the fruity aromas of the wines.
The objective of the Cuvée l'Esquisse is to bring together the new and young plots of Champagne Moussé. Designed to be fruit-oriented and enjoyed young, this cuvée has a high proportion of sizes which gives it great drinkability.
