Golden colored with some hints of green tinges. Lemon and honey suckle butter on the nose with some wet stones, chalk dust, white roses, nuts and cooked peaches on the edges. Lots of pepper and raspberries with white roses here, Mirabelle plums, and lemon and lime rind. Mid palate of baked dried red-fuits with a long finish.

Simply one of the finest growers in all of Champagne, this is their flagship wine; 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay, all from the Grand Cru villages of Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay. Unapologetically vinous, and with amazing depth. The vines are between 35 and 40 years old. The sheer ripeness and quality of the fruit allow for a very moderate dosage of 4 grams per liter. Egly's Champagnes are legendary; taste why.
