Egly Ouriet Blanc de Noirs VV Les Crayères, Egly-Ouriet Base Vintage 2018

A golden yellow color, the NV Champagne Grand Cru Blancs De Noirs Les Crayeres Vieilles Vignes Extra Brut is base 2018, with six years on the lees before disgorgement. Long and sustained on the palate, it captures the power of place, originating as it does from Les Crayeres with its very old Pinot Noir vines, and it has remarkable depth of fruit. It’s fleshy, ripe, and long, but it has freshness, and while it’s fantastic now, but it should have no problem improving over the coming 20 years. This is fabulous.
