Egly-Ouriet, Champagne Premier Cru, Les Vignes de Vrigny, Brut nv disgorged August 2009 The nose features a veritable bread basket of smells from the boulangerie, buttered biscuits, freshly baked croissants and more great memories of France.
In the mouth the flavors are quite complex, with flavors of tart cherry and cranberry, vibrant acidity and a sense where every millimeter of the palate is lit up with flavor – a wine with great finesse that goes on and on.
The grapes are all Pinot Meunier from le Terroir de Vrigny. The bottle tasted today, in July 2010, was aged for 37 months on the lees and disgorged in August ’09. Elabore a Ambonnay 12.5% previously $52.49 and purchased in July 2010 for $44.99 at Bottle Barn
