First off, what a lovely color. Deep wheat in the glass with profuse, minuscule bubbles. Looks so much mature than it really is.
An utterly ridiculous nose of white flowers and cherries up top with kumquat complimenting. Ripe apples and pretty peaches. Sensual drips of honey, lime zest, and marzipan. Dry, earthy aromas here, as well with herbs and cinnamon. A touch of rosemary. Outrageously nice and clean.
1/3 each of the usual suspects from a single vineyard in Trigny. Sans oak, fermented in stainless steel tanks with no malo. Aged for 36 months on lees, which is short for the house. Low dosage and thrilling acidity here with near perfect balance and enticing dryness. Rich and substantial with very nice tension.
Crème Brûlée in the mouth. Plenty of soil and herbs on the palate. Apples and fresh brioche with mint. Wild strawberries and ripe pears. Truly, a cornucopia on the tongue. Something new and different from one of the undisputed masters in Champagne.

Small red fruits, lemon zest, brioche. Not quite the intensity of other Egly bottlings but this is still lovely 😋

Liquid gold. Expressive bouquet of red baked apples, 'golden key' cake, white stone fruits with citrus touch. Vinous, well balanced, intense, but it's open and friendly.
40 years old vines from village of Trigny. Clay and limestone soils. Fermented and aged in stainless steel. 36 months on lees. Disgorgement in July 2020 with 2g/L dosage.

Creamy aroma came out. But stimulated citrus. Energetic small bubbles. Then creamy taste is back now. @2480, domaine -, 220629-221203

Beautiful colour - rich copper-gold. Opened up over an hour. Luxurious, ideal mousse. Beautiful fruit. 36 months on lees. Even though it’s the basic bottling it’s fabulous. God bless Egly for doing this shit. (& happy birthday to my lovely wife).

Lighter and simpler than other Egly’s, but superbly pure and bright fruit has more density and weight than most. Super electric acidity.

New SKU for Egly...pretty gold in the glass. Ripe, round ready to party right out of the bottle. A bit “sweeter” or fruit forward than expected. Perhaps a bit less acid balanced than expected. Lots of ripe red apple and pear. Enjoyed the wine, but I’m thinking my Egly budget perhaps better spent on Pinot Meunier.
