The 2015 Vilmart & Cie Grand Cellier Rubis Emotion Brut Rose is a distinguished Champagne blend that reflects the finesse and expertise of its producer, Vilmart et Cie. Originating from the Montagne de Reims, specifically the Rilly-la-Montagne appellation in France, this wine is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, sourced from vines that are 60 years old.

With a pale pink hue and a consistent fine bead, this rosé presents a complex aromatic profile. Jeb Dunnuck describes it as having “aromas of wild mixed berries, tangerine, biscotti, and powder,” while The Wine Independent highlights “crushed red bramble fruit, orange peel, vanilla bean, and toast.” The palate is medium to full-bodied, showcasing savory notes with morello cherry and red currant fruit, and an energized acid line that brings vibrancy to the wine.

Vinous's Antonio Galloni notes that “cranberry, mint, spice, and white pepper open with some coaxing,” indicating the wine’s nuanced and ethereal stage, having spent additional time in the bottle. Despite its depth, Galloni finds it “a touch closed,” suggesting the potential for further development.

The wine is characterized by a dosage of 8 grams per liter, which contributes to its balance and understated elegance. It was disgorged in February 2022, adding to its complexity and maturity.

All three professional reviewers—Vinous, Jeb Dunnuck, and The Wine Independent—each award this Champagne a score of 93, recognizing its quality and potential. The Wine Independent's Sarah Mayo appreciates its “energized, vibrant acid line” and “long and savory” finish, further noting a “kiss of sweetness and a little tannic grip.”

Overall, the 2015 Vilmart & Cie Grand Cellier Rubis Emotion Brut Rose is a refined and sophisticated choice for those seeking a Champagne with depth, complexity, and the potential for aging, best enjoyed between 2026 and 2040.
