2016 Visol
This amazing, family-run estate can trace its origins back to the 13th Century and their sensational, Gran Reserva Cavas represent some of the most phenomenal, sparkling wines of the world today. First produced in 1945, the ‘Visol’, translating as, ‘wine on its own’, was the first zero dosage, Brut Nature Cava. A blend of Macabeu (35%), Xarel·lo (45%) and Parellada (20%) and with the yields kept very low, the result is rich and highly concentrated grapes. It is straw yellow, clear and bright and the primary aromas of white fruit (white peach and pear) and flowers burst from the glass. On the palate, gorgeous ripe citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit, apricots and orange peel) come through alongside creamy notes of fine pastries and roasted almonds. The moose is harmoniously integrated, persistent and fine: matching and amplifying the smoothness and creaminess on the palate, harmoniously balanced against the zest of the mature fruit. It also has an incredibly refined mineral line with a lively acidic lift to maintain freshness. The finish is remarkably long, with the positive flavours remaining pronounced long after the glass is finished! It is also a multifaceted and versatile wine which allows it to be paired with virtually any dish one desires!

Grande Reserve
Laurent’s entry level Champagne is the only one dominated by Pinot Noir (70% PN, 30% Chardonnay). It is overtly fruity but fresh and quite delicious. Vilmart’s class shines through. It has a fabulously refined and elegant nose redolent of citrus fruits, especially oranges, alongside more developed aromas of honeyed cashew nuts as well as creamy and subtly smoky nuances. A great palate follows, with a fine mousse, ever so slightly creamy, fresh and crisply structured, with delicious redcurrant, apple and lemon fruits shining through. It has a lovely and elegant flavour laid over a good structure, is fine and shows quite a seamless presence in the mouth. The finish is long, bursting with brightness, ringing clarity, mouth-watering salinity, and cheek-pinching piquancy. A great introduction to Laurent’s range, and just an all-round stunning Champagne.
