A Chambolle + Champagne dinner: Served side-by-side with the Falmet, both had a similar sweet, candied nose. We knew there was an Egly in the mix and both were single varietals, I guessed the Egly correctly because when it was richer and more house-like whereas the others guessed the Falmet as the Egly because they liked that more. Also was quite sure the varietal in question was Meunier because of both wines’ opulence and tropical nature. 2017 base here for the Egly but thought this was quite tight and not showing much; in my mind Egly can be maddeningly inconsistent.

Deep golden color. Pronounced nose with honey, flowers, kumquat, marzipan, ripe golden apple, and a saline finish. The palate is just as nice with a smooth and medium+ finish. Very creamy. Dis. 2018 Jul

Home-drinking - Disg July 2017 so 2013 base I figure. Feels more primary and less evolved than the 16 disgorgement I had recently. Yeasty nose and telltale praline flavour if Egly wines. Lots of primary Pinot Meunier goodness and drive that fills the palate spherical. It is a wine that can age quite gracefully. The Vrigny is undervalued in the Egly stable. It provides the Egly magic with age and is the only take of the master on 100% Meunier.

I'm partial to Egly. My go to when I can. This one is 100% P Meunier and it sings. Vinous, mineral, complex.

Riktigt trevlig Meunier, dracks i RFeims med Carl-Edmund Sherman.
Hög kvalite, serverades blind och han plockade inte den ;-)
Köp gärna igen!!
