Vilmart & Cie Les Blanches Voies Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Brut, Champagne, France 2012 Maule Valley This is a fully formedThe 2012 Extra Brut Les Blanc de Blancs Blanches Voies is stellar. It offers tons of brilliance and energy, especially for a year in which most wines are quite a bit more radiant. Its a style that works quite well here, though. Crushed rocks, white pepper, mint and lemon peel all build as the 2012 shows off its alluring, saline infused personality. 95 Pts Antonio Galloni
