LES VIGNES DE VRIGNY
EGLY-OURIET
This champagne is 100% Pinot Meunier - an unusual but inspired choice. Produced from low yielding old vines, it is soft, creamy, with the intensity that Egly manages to bring to all his Champagne; different, yes, but brilliant with it.
- Warm toasty notes; peaches, apricots, hints of honey on the palate; beautifully balanced.
- One of the greatest grower champagnes; follows biodynamic approach to viticulture.
- Winemaker Francis Egly’s mission is ‘to please but also to surprise;’ this wine does exactly that.
- Drinking well now.
- An unusual champagne; perfect with sweet sticky pork ribs.

“The NV Brut Premier Cru Les Vignes de Vrigny emerges from the glass with warm, toasty notes that lead to an expressive core of pears, nuts, spices, licorice and flowers. The Vignes de Vrigny develops lovely amber, burnished tones in the glass that add complexity to the fruit. This mid-weight Champagne should continue to drink beautifully for at least a few years. The Vignes de Vrigny is 100% Pinot Meunier that spent 36 months on its lees prior to being disgorged in July, 2010.”
