Emotion is the vintage rose from Vilmart & Cie, the grower house at Rilly-la-Montagne where Laurent Champs works exclusively with Premier Cru fruit from old vines on the Montagne de Reims.

It blends Chardonnay with Pinot Noir vinified as a rose de saignee. As with everything at Vilmart, fermentation happens in 228-litre oak casks rather than steel, malolactic fermentation is blocked to hold on to acidity, and the wine spends several years on lees before disgorgement.

Laced with sweet dried cherry, dried herbs, blood orange and mint. It offers terrific breadth for the year, with the Pinot more in evidence than in the 2015 tasted alongside it... Eight grams of dosage feels expertly judged. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous (94 pts)

Critic Reviews

94 Points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous

“Vilmart's 2014 Brut Rose Emotion is laced with sweet dried cherry, dried herbs, blood orange and mint. It offers terrific breadth for the year, with the Pinot more in evidence than in the 2015 tasted alongside it (the blend is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay for both). Eight grams of dosage feels expertly judged. Disgorged: February 2022.”

94 Points - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator

“A harmonious rose Champagne, with sleek acidity creating a mouthwatering frame for the focused range of ripe black cherry, blood orange granita, ground ginger and lime blossom flavors. Shows good concentration as the flavors expand on the palate, but this is racy, with good drive and energy through to the lingering finish, where hints of chopped almond and minerally saline and chalk emerge. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged April 2021. Drink now through 2034. 50 cases imported.”

90 Points - Decanter Panel, Decanter

“The aromas are predominantly in the citrus spectrum, citrus peel and even a distilled citrus tone. The texture is silky and refined, and it finishes with fragrant length and a balanced harmony. Perfect for lovers of expressive floral Champagne.”
