Egly-Ouriet is a highly respected grower-producer (Récoltant Manipulant) in Champagne, known for its meticulous approach to viticulture and winemaking. The 'Les Vignes de Vrigny' Premier Cru is a Blanc de Noirs Champagne made from 100% Pinot Meunier grapes grown in the Premier Cru village of Vrigny.
This wine is a testament to the potential of Pinot Meunier when treated with the same care and attention as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. It showcases the unique characteristics of the Vrigny terroir, which imparts a distinctive minerality and vibrancy to the wine. The old vines used in its production contribute to its concentration and complexity. The taste profile typically includes notes of ripe orchard fruits, citrus zest, and brioche, complemented by a chalky minerality and a fine, persistent mousse.
Perfect with a range of dishes, from seafood and shellfish to creamy cheeses and poultry. It is exceptional with seared scallops, lobster bisque, or a lemon-herb roasted chicken. Its dry style and crisp acidity make it an excellent aperitif, while its depth and complexity allow it to pair well with more substantial dishes. The wine is best served chilled, around 8°C (46°F), to enhance its refreshing qualities and highlight its subtle nuances. The bottle contains 750 ml. The alcohol percentage is around 12.5%.
From the exceptional winery Egly-Ouriet in the heart of the Champagne region. Egly-Ouriet produces wines with low yields and high proportions of old vines, bottled with minimal dosage, resulting in champagnes of intensity and purity, highly sought after by connoisseurs worldwide. This particular Premier Cru is a shining example of Egly-Ouriet's dedication to quality and their mastery of Pinot Meunier.
