Vilmart & Cie

Vilmart & Cie is a Champagne producer based in the Champagne region of France. The house operates as a grower-producer, making sparkling wines from estate-grown grapes in the traditional méthode champenoise style that defines the appellation.

The Champagne region's chalky soils and cool climate create ideal conditions for producing high-quality sparkling wines with characteristic minerality and finesse. Premier Cru vineyards, which represent some of the highest-rated sites in Champagne's classification system, typically yield grapes with greater concentration and complexity than those from unclassified villages. The traditional blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir provides structure and elegance, with Chardonnay contributing freshness and citrus notes while Pinot Noir adds body and red fruit character.

Vilmart & Cie's current offering includes their Grand Cellier d'Or Premier Cru Brut, a non-vintage cuvée crafted from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. This wine represents the classic Champagne style, with the Premier Cru designation indicating fruit sourced from highly-rated vineyard sites within the region's quality hierarchy.
