NV Egly-Ouriet Champagne Premier Cru Les Vignes de Vrigny - France, Champagne, Champagne Premier Cru (5/11/2025)
Last bottle of a case bought 13yrs ago, i'm guessing 2010 disgorgement? The wine was fascinating! Darker apricot in color...and yes, FULL of apricots, with some cherry skin, sauteed peach...the wine was rich, yet bright and cut with elegant ginger ale bubbles, grapefruit sour tarts...salty sea air minerals...age showing just a tad of honey, hazelnut, and lees. Really enjoyed this bottle...every sip was an amazement! Love it when a wine can keep your attention like this right to the last drop. (95 points)

Sounds like a dream Brian, this novice champagne fan struck luck trying an E-O when generous friends opened another cuvee.

I long for the days Egly was available for reasonable prices. Les Crayeres used to be about $100-110 per btl. In those days it flowed liked a river at our house.
I don’t begrudge any wine producer getting as much as possible for their wines. The positive side of the rise in champagne prices is that I have been forced to look into growers I wouldn’t have made the effort to get to know earlier, and that has led to all sort of discoveries.
