The pioneering firm of Vilmart and its current winemaker, Laurent Champs, make the most vinous of all pink Champagnes, and the Cuvée Rubis is our idea of a Champagne that is truly meant for the table and complementary of a wide range of foods. The current release (90% Pinot Noir, 10% Chardonnay, with 15% of the Pinot Noir being still wine) was on the lees for 30+ months and was finished with an 8g/L dosage. Cherry and wild strawberry aromas and flavors abound here, but the entire impression is one of subtlety, sleekness and impeccable balance. Sustainable farming.
