Champagne AOC Premier Cru Brut Les Vignes de Vrigny Egly-Ouriet
Description
The Champagne Les Vignes de Vrigny Brut by Egly-Ouriet is produced exclusively by Meunier from old vineyards in the territory of Vrigny, a municipality classified Premier Cru in the Montagne de Reims. This Cuvée does not include blends with other vines, emphasizing the purity and originality of Meunier on a surface limited to just two hectares.
The winemaking involves partial fermentation in oak barrels using indigenous yeasts. Subsequently, the wine ages for approximately 12 months before being blended with 20% reserve wines. After secondary fermentation, the champagne matures for a further 36 months on the lees, acquiring complexity and structure.
This champagne has an intense straw yellow color and a fine and continuous perlage. Intense aromas of dried fruit, custard and butter emerge on the nose, enriched by nuances of apple, pear, spices, citrus fruits, honey and medicinal herbs. In the mouth it is vigorous, resolute and powerful, but at the same time elegant and harmonious, with an astonishing complexity and an intriguing and tense minerality.
Perfect as an aperitif, it pairs beautifully with cheeses, fish-based dishes and unstructured first and second courses, enhancing each ingredient without overpowering it. A tasting experience that elevates every special and convivial occasion.
