Champagne Extra Brut Grand Cru, Egly-Ouriet NV 750ml

"Even though it was only Disgorged: a few months ago, the NV Brut Tradition Grand Cru is super-expressive. The Brut Tradition brings together parcels in Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay that, together, yield a Pinot-driven Champagne with tremendous breadth as well as cut. Red fruit, dried flowers, mint, spice and lemon confit are some of the aromas and flavors that build in this wonderfully open-knit, inviting Champagne from Egly-Ouriet." -Vinous

"Very classical aromas of toast, nuts and patisserie lead to a palate that's round and savory with very attractive richness and complexity. Flavors of nuts, cream and candied fruits are given lovely balance, elegance, persistence and length by the wonderful acidity. Deliciously good - a serious fizz."--Decanter

A lovely Champagne, seamlessly layering vibrant acidity and a fine, satiny texture with flavors of crushed black cherry, lime blossom and grilled nut. An aromatic thread of star anise and graphite unwinds on the mouthwatering finish." - Wine Spectator
