*Pick up orders are available next day for pick upThe small domaine of Lilbert-Fils is located in the heart of the noble Côte des Blancs. Established in 1746, the winery is today managed by Bertrand Lilbert, who tends 3.5 ha of vineyards in 3 prestigious Grand Cru villages - Cramant, Chouilly and Oiry. Each wine is painstakingly made by hand. Bottles are manually riddled and disgorged ‘a la volée’. The classic style of the domaine focuses on taut acidity, elegant fruit, and long aging potential. At only 30,000 bottles, production is very small.
“Lilbert makes classic Côte des Blancs champagnes of great purity, finesse and expression. The only problem with these wines is finding them, as the tiny production is eagerly snapped up upon release by a near-cult following of clientele around the world." - Peter Liem
The Millésime is the top wine of Lilbert-Fils. Made from 100% Chardonnay, the grapes were harvested from Bertrand’s oldest vines in Cramant. The primary source is a parcel of vines known as Les Buissons (planted in 1936). The grapes from these nine rows of vines provide generous structure to the cépage. The rest of the blend was harvested from the parcel of Les Moyens. These grapes provide lifted acidity. In the glass exquisitely chiseled citrus fruit notes are balanced by creamy effervescence and streamlined minerality. Only produced in the finest vintages, this champagne is an absolute delight!
