NV Egly-Ouriet Extra Brut Grand Cru

"Based on 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, the NV Grand Cru Brut has a killer nose of baked apple, crushed citrus, toasted spice, and brioche. This carries to a richer, layered, powerful Champagne with depth, density, and length. I'd be happy to drink bottles any time over the coming decade." - Jeb Dunnuck Review Date: November 2020

"A lovely Champagne, seamlessly layering vibrant acidity and a fine, satiny texture with flavors of crushed black cherry, lime blossom and grilled nut. An aromatic thread of star anise and graphite unwinds on the mouthwatering finish." - Allison Napjus Review Date: December 2019

"The latest rendition of Egly's emblematic NV Brut Grand Cru is based on the 2016 vintage, and it was disgorged in spring 2021 with only one gram per liter dosage. Wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, crisp stone fruit, wheat toast and citrus oil mingled with hints of white flowers and praline, it's full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with tangy acids, terrific mid-palate amplitude and an enlivening pinpoint mousse. The wine's structure and ultra-low dosage mean that this is quite a tightly wound young wine, and it will merit at least a year or two on cork if readers can muster the necessary patience." - William Kelly Review Date: September 2021
