High acid, slightly blunted, giving lively tension on the attack. Wonderful balance of the acid with the pronounced intensity and long finish. Fine soft mousse. Pronounced complexity with aging prior to release as well as use of reserve wine. Both fresh peach and baked peach tarte tatin, lemon, lemon curd, dried lemon peel, baked and dried apple, and wilted flowers. The crusty sourdough, yogurt, toast, and pastry dough are prominent, but don't stand out from the chorus. Deep gold with a peach/bronze tint.

Candied nose with a beautifully pronounced colour. My first experience with Egly Ouriet. Very good wine that if anything, seemed a bit shy today. Will hold my other bottles for a bit more time.

A Chambolle + Champagne dinner: Served side-by-side with the Falmet, both had a similar sweet, candied nose. We knew there was an Egly in the mix and both were single varietals, I guessed the Egly correctly because when it was richer and more house-like whereas the others guessed the Falmet as the Egly because they liked that more. Also was quite sure the varietal in question was Meunier because of both wines’ opulence and tropical nature. 2017 base here for the Egly but thought this was quite tight and not showing much; in my mind Egly can be maddeningly inconsistent.

Deep golden color. Pronounced nose with honey, flowers, kumquat, marzipan, ripe golden apple, and a saline finish. The palate is just as nice with a smooth and medium+ finish. Very creamy. Dis. 2018 Jul

I'm partial to Egly. My go to when I can. This one is 100% P Meunier and it sings. Vinous, mineral, complex.
