"Fine and harmonious, this is lightly chalky and refined in texture, showing pinpoint integration of its well-spiced range of pureed raspberry, blood orange granita, lime peel, biscuit and mineral notes and its spine of chiseled acidity. Concentrated yet ethereal. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged July 2024. 750 cases imported. - AN"

"Dried raspberries, orange peel, rose petals and sourdough. The palate is linear, with a hint of fennel, salinity and well-integrated fruit. Balanced acidity, savoury cured meats and rich, elegant structure. A vinous, rich, serious, gastronomic Champagne."

"The NV Champagne 1er Cru Cuvee Rubis Brut Rose is a bright pale pink color, and is fruity and inviting on the nose, with notes of strawberries, pastry cream, candied grapefruit, and fresh roses. Medium-bodied, it is refreshing and approachable on the palate, with a refined and rounded mousse and a quaffable nature to drink on its own or at the table. This crowd pleaser will drink well over the coming 5-7 years, but I like it where it is now for its fresh style."

"The NV Brut Cuvée Rubis, based on 2022, is fabulous. Rich and textured in feel, the Cuvée Rubis is so expressive. Kirsch, cranberry, white pepper, mint and chalk fill out the layers. More than anything else, I admire the wine's textural presence. This is a fine edition of the Cuvée Rubis. It's delicate but also has the seriousness to be quite versatile at the dinner table. Dosage is 8 grams per liter. Disgorged: July 2024."

"Muscular and flamboyant, Vilmart's 2023 vintage-based NV Cuvee Rubis, disgorged in July 2025 with a dosage of six grams per liter, is showing nicely, wafting from the glass with aromas of strawberry, grapefruit and blood orange, mingled with notes of hard candy. Medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and textural, the palate is broad and layered, built around a generous core of fruit and underpinned by ripe yet racy acidity, culminating in a delicately phenolic finish where subtly bitter aromatics assert themselves."
