Description
Discover the Distinctive Elegance of Egly-Ouriet Les Vignes de Vrigny Premier Cru
Experience a rare expression of Champagne crafted exclusively from 100% Pinot Meunier grapes in France’s prestigious Premier Cru village of Vrigny. Egly-Ouriet’s non-vintage masterpiece captivates connoisseurs with its extraordinary harmony of power and grace – offering remarkable depth while maintaining vibrant freshness that defines artisanal Champagne.
Sourced from treasured 50-year-old vines farmed organically, this cuvée undergoes extended aging (36 months on lees) before disgorgement with minimal dosage (2g/L). The result? A textured yet precise sparkling wine celebrated by top critics:
- Revel in complex layers of golden orchard fruits, dried white cherry, and candied lemon zest
- Discover sophisticated nuances of smoked almond, toasted brioche, and subtle praline
- Feel the vibrant energy through its lively mousse and mineral undertones
- Appreciate the lingering finish kissed by hints of thyme and crushed flowers
Praised for its “viscerally thrilling” balance (95pts Jeb Dunnuck) and “translucent finesse” (92pts Vinous), this 12.5% ABV Champagne showcases why pure Pinot Meunier commands attention. Its combination of ripe fruit maturity (“elegantly fleshy” – 92pts Wine Advocate) with racy acidity creates a uniquely expressive profile that evolves beautifully over the next decade.
Perfect for marking milestones or elevating everyday moments, this organically farmed Champagne delivers exceptional complexity – a true benchmark for Premier Cru quality that makes an unforgettable introduction to Egly-Ouriet’s acclaimed house style.
