Champagne Vilmart & Cie
Champagne Vilmart & Cie
Champagne Vilmart & Cie is a Champagne house based in the village of Rilly-la-Montagne, at the foot of the Montagne de Reims. Vine growing history here dates back to 1890, and in fact, Vilmart is one of the pioneers of ‘grower’ champagne. Under the guidance of Laurent Champs since 1989, the house has risen to become one of the "top estates" (according to Galloni) in Champagne.
Part of the ethos that has served Vilmart so well is its commitment to organic viticulture. Working in partnership with nature, rather than struggling against it, gives their wines "extraordinary class and elegance " (Galloni) that many ‘grand marques’ cannot match. Champs uses no chemicals, and the estate has been pesticide-free since 1989, creating wonderfully healthy subsoils.
The remarkable "finesse" in the wine is also achieved by two signature wine-making techniques: vinification in oak barrels and avoidance of malolactic fermentation. Combining these techniques with grapes of exceptional quality, their Champagnes display "depth and complexity" and "a brisk focus and poise" (Decanter).

"For my part, a Winegrower needs two main qualities, “Patience and Humility”. 2011 is a perfect example of a vintage that was long overdue. We had to be modest in the face of a nature that was a little more capricious than usual" - Laurent Champs (Owner and Winemaker)
