94/100 Wine Spectator
Tasting notes: “A brilliant, deep golden color, with a rich nose of toasted nuts and a fine, pointillist cordon carrying notes of dried raspberry, white truffle, quince paste, chamomile and oyster shell. Gentle orange peel acidity and a hint of salinity keep the palate fresh and drive the long, creamy finish. ”

Do you know this cuvée?
- Champagne Egly-Ouriet produces this magnificent Premier Cru Vrigny on the Montagne de Reims.
- The soil is light and chalky, and the old Pinot Meunier vines thrive here.The vinification of this 1er Cru Champagne takes place partly in wood (in old barrels aged 1 to 5 years) from the first pressings.
- Food/wine pairings: white meats, especially poultryServe between 8 and 10°C.
The vinification principles are the same as for the other cuvées, but the originality of this cuvée lies in the fact that it is made exclusively from old Pinot Meunier vines, so there is no blending with other grape varieties. On the other hand, it is not classified as a Grand Cru, since the grapes come exclusively from the Vrigny 1er Cru vineyard.
