We drank well this weekend.
Deeply rich and autolytic after 84 months sur lees. The bouquet opens with complex layers of citrus, particularly blood orange, alongside ripe stone fruits and white floral notes. The creamy texture is balanced by vibrant acidity. Exceptional as always, and a favorite of mine among Egly-Ouriet’s cuvées, second only to Les Crayères. Disgorged July 2020, based on the 2012 vintage.
Intoxicating aromas and a luxurious texture. Creamy notes of lemon and orange with hints of ginger and mineral. Precise cut and fine bead balance its lush profile. A long, beautiful finish.
Opens with a touch of flinty reduction that quickly gives way to vibrant lime notes, followed by a subtle pine nuance. Beautifully layered, deep and elegant.
