Vilmart is one of my favorite producers and this bottle, a favorite memory, from a profoundly enjoyable luncheon at Hôtel Restaurant Les Avisés, owned by Anselme Selosse and his wife. Everything about that day was perfect, including the wine. The 2010 Cuvée Grand Cellier d' Or Brut is a sunbeam in a glass, with bubbles like seed pearls embroidered on golden-threaded brocade. Transporting aromas of lemon pudding, dewy pear, white flowers, honeycomb and dried mint lead into a wine that is as poised as it is precise. It crescendos on a spicy note that gradually subsides to a clean, lilting finish. — 10 years ago
