Egly Ouriet Brut Grand Cru, Egly-Ouriet Base Vintage 2020

Another fantastic wine from Egly, the 2025 disgorgement is based on the 2020 vintage, with 30% 2019 and 20% 2018, rounding out a serious trio that shows in the glass. The nose exudes confident ripeness, with confit citrus, fresh stone fruit and supple lees layers to make a complete, youthful and vibrant bouquet. The palate is powerful, with a creamy mousse and intense fruit coming together with real spice and savour. A wine of purity and personality, the fruit and savoury complexity are already on show and make for delicious drinking, but I have no doubt this wine will be even better with two or three years of bottle age. It will age gracefully for over a decade. Outstanding, long and very moreish.
