ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Vilmart & Cie. traces its history back to 1890, when it was founded by Dsir Vilmart, and from the beginning, Vilmart & Cie. has always been a rcoltant-manipulant, making champagne exclusively from estate-owned vines. Since 1989 the estate has been in the hands of Laurent Champs, the fifth generation of the family to take the helm of the house.
The majority of Vilmarts 11 hectares of vines lie in Rilly-la-Montagne, although there are a few plots just over the border in the neighboring village of Villers-Allerand. Vilmart is a member of Ampelos, an organization that promotes organic and sustainable viticulture, and Champs has never used any herbicides or chemical fertilizers since taking over the estate. All of the vineyards are planted with cover crops and plowed, and Champs enjoys an additional advantage in that his parcels are relatively largeonly 12 different parcels over 11 hectaresmeaning that he is more protected from contamination by chemical treatments in neighboring plots.
