Tasting notes
A classy, understated wine, the 2010 Grand Cellier Rubis offers striking depth and nuance. Now, nearly two and half years after its disgorgement, the 2010 is just starting to open up aromatically. The Rubis is deceptively medium in body, yet it possesses notable drive. There is plenty of depth in the glass, but it is more implied than overtly stated. The Rubis is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. Dosage is 8 grams per liter. Disgorged November, 2014.

Vilmart's 2010 Grand Cellier Rubis is superb. Classically austere - in the best sense of the word - brisk, and steely, the 2010 boasts magnificent energy and tons of pure, mineral-driven cut. Readers who enjoy focused Champagnes will adore the 2010. A host of cranberry, blood orange, mint and cinnamon are some of the signatures. This is an especially airy, weightless Rosé built on energy and tension. The 2010 could use another 6-12 months to unwind, but it is pretty impressive, even today. The Grand Cellier Rubis is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. Disgorged: September 2014. Dosage is 8 grams per liter.
