Notes:
Brad Baker, The Champagne Warrior
"Vilmart's 2004 Grand Cellier d'Or is a fruity, spicy wine full of creamy dough. This possesses the trademark spicy mineral and citrus notes that Vilmart is known for and delivers a finish that makes it hard to stop after only a glass or two. Very well made, this 2004 is tasty right now, but will reward even more if you can cellar it. A highly recommended wine that drinks levels above its price point."
"...Vilmart is among my favorite houses that have mastered the difficult challenge of delivering an elegant and full-flavored Champagne with finesse. If you don't know the house, do yourself a favor and give one of the cuvees a try, you'll thank me for the suggestion. With 11 ha they produce 8,750 cases annually."

"Proprietor Laurent Champs makes some of the most elegant, refined wines in Champagne. All of the wines are aged in oak ranging from large, neutral casks to small barriques, some of which are new for the top selections. Few producers have been able to find such impeccable balance using oak. A hint of Ramonet here, a suggestion of Leflaive there....simply put, these are majestic wines that no one who loves fine Champagne will want to be without."
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
Warm, toasty aromatics emerge from the 2004 Brut Premier Cru Grand Cellier d'Or. This is a seriously young wine that will require quite a bit of patience, but it already shows fabulous depth and a sublime, enveloping finish. The 2004 Grand Cellier d'Or is 80% Chardonnay from Les Blanches Voies and 20% Pinot Noir from Les Blanches Voies and Basses Greves, bottled with 9 grams of dosage. This is a fabulous wine from Vilmart. Disgorged December 2009. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.
