EGLY-OURIET CHAMPAGNE EXTRA BRUT GRAND CRU MILLESIME 2014

Egly-Ouriet's 2014 Grand Cru Millésime draws from old-vine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Ambonnay, where chalk-rich Grand Cru soils deliver the mineral precision and natural acidity that define this cooler vintage. Organically farmed, fermented with indigenous yeasts in barrel (10% new), zero malolactic, 96 months on the lees, and bottled unfined and unfiltered with just 2g/L dosage. Pear, mirabelle plum, apricot skin, freshly baked bread, and honeycomb on the nose; full-bodied and satiny on the palate with exceptional purity, saline minerality, and a long, penetrating finish. Best 2027–2034+. 97pts Wine Advocate.
