The NV Brut Les Vignes de Vrigny 1er Cru is gorgeous in the way it balances the natural depth of Meunier with real energy and vibrancy. Dried pear, spice and crushed flowers all open in the glass, but what impresses me about this release of Egly’s pure Meunier is its translucence and finesse. The Vignes de Vrigny is so expressive and gorgeous in this release. Disgorged: July, 2020. 92 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous (previous base)
100% Pinot Meunier from a single, 40-year-old, south facing vineyard in Vrigny (very close to Gueux, where Jérôme Prévost is based). Straight Pinot Meunier remains a rarity in Champagne, and in Egly’s hands it is something unique. Low yields, old vines and ripe fruit make this one of the most intense, layered and opulent Meunier wines around. It’s spicy, fruity, fleshy, yet very mineral. Bottled without filtration. Dosage for this bottling was a tiny one gram per litre.

The fruit from Le Champ Bouton in Avize was fermented in tank, while the component from Bionnes in Cramant was vinified in 600-litre oak casks. The wine spent just over five […]
Add to cart Producer: AgrapartThe real excitement in Champagne is from the small artisan producers in Cotes des Blanc. Charles and Emmanuel Fourny from Vertus are at the forefront of that excitement. They produce fabulous Cuvees of ridiculously good quality. This is beautiful Champagne from salt of the earth, hard working people and as good as it gets for […]
Add to cart Producer: Veuve Fourny & FilsToasty and yeasty aromas dominate on the first nose, with swirling smoky intrigue. It’s full and rich on the tongue, with grilled brioche and creamy intensity paired with bruised apple skin and mashed apple flesh. Custard and viennoiserie characters give weight and body, while the finish perks up with bitter nut skin and greengage freshness. […]
Add to cart Producer: Egly-OurietIncredibly subtle and fine. Complex aromas of citrus, cut hay, white flowers, honey, white chocolate and nougat. The palate is a beguiling mix of pure fruit and mineral tension. Pillow soft in the mouth with great energy and freshness. One of the finest NV Champagnes on the market, at any price point. Serve this in […]
