Tasting notes
The 2006 Brut Premier Cru Grand Cellier Rubis is beginning to show signs of advancement that suggest it is best enjoyed over the next few years, while the fruit remains vibrant. Today, the 2006 is more delicate than intense. My own personal preference is to drink the Grand Cellier Rubis on the young side. The Grand Cellier Rubis is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. This bottle was disgorged in December 2013. Dosage is 8 grams per liter.

The 2006 Brut Premier Cru Grand Cellier Rubis is endowed with striking inner perfume, expressive fruit and drop-dead gorgeous harmony. Totally sensual and weightless in the glass, the 2006 stands out for its energy and brilliance. This is another utterly impeccable, breathtaking wine. Disgorged October 2011.
Vilmart's 2006 Brut Premier Cru Grand Cellier Rubis goes straight to the heart. Layers of expressive, perfumed fruit caress the palate in this exceptionally polished, silky Champagne. All the elements are simply in the right place. The 2006 is all about subtlety, grace and class. This feminine, sensual wine is striking today, but it should also drink well for a number of years. It is easily one of the highlights among this year's new releases. Disgorgement date: June 2011.

Laurent Champs crafts impeccable, elegant Champagnes of the highest level. The Vilmart Champagnes are so delicious when they are released I doubt too many are purchased for cellaring, but the reality is that the wines also age exceptionally well.
