  • Disgorged Nov 2021.

    Amazing how open and accessible this was, especially coming on the heels of a 2002 Lanson Noble which was tight, but opened gloriously thank you very much.

    The Egly was pure class. The texture made this very special. Mousse, mousse, mousse! Brioche amazing tiny bubbles. Balance was spot on, didn't miss a beat from front, middle to finish. So harmonious.

    Amazing rich color. Looked like least 20+ years. And was sooo smooth. Blind I would have put it as the 2002, and the 02 which was more bright and lucid, I would have put as the younger wine.

    Go figure. What a treat. Obviously drinking in a great spot already. Will it get better w more cellar time? Hard to say. Maybe yes maybe no. Father time will dictate. Regardless, pop a cork and enjoy the ride!

  • Disg. 2009. Probably 2003 base. A lot of evolution in the nose. Very much apple cider, baked apple, honey driven. After 30min it started to hit its stride and open up with more umami flavors, toasted nuts, walnut, mushroom. Mouth is rich, with bubble still very much alive. Very Apple-y at the beginning, and then more umami, soy, nut. Nice complexity but feels a little bit over the hill. Finish could have been a bit longer. Great experience overall, and nice delivery in a weaker vintage.

  • Home-drinking - July 2014 disgorgement. Dark copper colour. An elegant oxidative note jumps out of the glass. We are in the land of Sherry, Jura or Selosse wines. Clove spice is the more specific descriptor I can think of. The oxidative character is right at the limit where it moves from providing intrigue to outright defining the wine. I believe Egly has gravitated over time towards a more balanced style. Great length and persistence. This avoids the shortcoming of many BdNs which can border on inscrutable monoliths. This is fully resolved displaying many nuances. A food wine and I think the most singular in the Egly range though personal preferences may lead one to prefer the Rose, the VP or even the Vrigny.

  • Disgorged July 2019.
    Complex nose of red florals, minerals, strawberry. Lovely intensity and texture in the mouth. Balanced, complex, good acid drive. Red fruits, salinity, stony minerals. Delicious tonight.

    (NV Egly-Ouriet NV Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru "Les Crayeres") It was very bready, very yeasty with a nice very pale rose color. The palate was a touch out of balance but there was nice concentrated fruit and wonderful delicate mousse but this definetly was in the typical powerful Egly style. Not that refined. Drink with steak. Expensive too for what it is. The Pinot Meunier (Les Vignes de Vrigny) is way better and a much better value.
