WINE SPECTATOR 93 POINTS - "Chiseled acidity provides firm definition for this chalky Champagne, though it's swathed on the palate by a creamy range of flavors, including passion fruit coulis, toasted almond, blood orange sorbet and lime blossom. A streak of salinity races on the finish. Disgorged December, 2020. Drink now through 2026."
WINE ADVOCATE 92 POINTS-"Based on the 2017 vintage, Egly's NV Brut Grand Cru unwinds in the glass with aromas of pear, freshly baked bread, lemon zest, tangerine and praline. Full-bodied, layered and elegantly muscular, with terrific concentration, racy acids and chalky structure, it concludes with a long, gently honeyed finish. Egly has always been enthusiastic about the quality of his Ambonnay fruit in 2017, and this bottling certainly validates his early confidence."
"[Francis Egly's] fabled domaine enjoys a cult status shared by no other grower on the Montange de Reims. This tiny, pristine operation deserves its acclaim, capturing the profound complexity, intensity, and grandeur of the Montange's finest terroirs, without sacrificing the precision that underlies the revered Champagnes. These are ravishingly vinous sparkling wines, consistently among the most exactingly balanced of Champagne's power set, handcrafted by a creative, thoughtful artisan who painstakingly tends his vines naturally to full maturity...On this basis Egly-Ouriet remains the finest grower in Champagne right now, and my only 10/10 [rated] grower. This name might just be the hardest to pronounce in Champagne, but it is one you must remember and seek out at every possibility" - Tyson Stelzer, The Champagne Guide Edition VI
Disgorged December 2020 after 53 months aging on the yeast.
