2016 base; disgorged July 2021. Egly always delivers and this is stupid good for entry grand cru. Highly aromatic, vinous in the best possible way. Pinot shines through. Fabulous texture & finish. — 6 days ago

An odd one - funky nose and an odd metallic note- yet palate was flush and belied the brut zero designation. Laser focus and fabulous with fatty tuna/uni. — 6 days ago
