Egly-Ouriet "Les Vignes de Vrigny" Premier Cru

100% Pinot Meunier from 40+ year old vines in Vrigny, a commune located on the Petite Montaigne de Reims; 60% base wine from 2007, 40% reserve wine from 2006. Unfined and unfiltered; 36 months on lees; Ultra-Brut dosage of 2-3 g/l. “The NV Brut Premier Cru Les Vignes de Vrigny emerges from the glass with warm, toasty notes that lead to an expressive core of pears, nuts, spices, licorice and flowers. The Vignes de Vrigny develops lovely amber, burnished tones in the glass that add complexity to the fruit. This mid-weight Champagne should continue to drink beautifully for at least a few years.” 91 points, Antonio Galloni.
