EGLY-OURIET
LES PREMICES:
Base vintage: 2019
Disgorgement: July 2023
Great “entry level” product of the winery, it stands out for its bright and lively freshness. With notes of white-fleshed fruit on the nose along with some citrus and just a light hint of brioche in the background. On the palate, everything feels nicely balanced,fruit, acidity, and a subtle minerality all working together without one overpowering the other.

Les Vignes de Vrigny Premier Cru Extra Brut
Base vintage: 2019
Disgorgement: July 2023
Wonderful controlled oxidative character, with bitter leaning apple, citrus peel and a subtle note of evolution. Hints of brioche are present but restrained. On the palate it is linear and precise, not so extreme in oxidative style with a clear mineral vein typical of Meunier. The fruit is ripe yet refined with a smooth texture.

Grand Cru Extra Brut
Grand Cru – Base vintage 2017 – Disgorged September 2022
Ripe fruit, baked apple and candiedcitrus peel layered with brioche, toasted nuts, beeswax, a slight chocolate note and chalky minerality. Subtle, well-integrated oxidative touch. Incredible is its potential for aging.

La Closerie "&" Extra Brut
Base vintage: 2020
Disgorgement: 2023
Ripe apple (Renetta) and yellow quince, with pronounced floral notes and hints of beeswax and light pastry. Chalky, mineral undertones. What a champagne!
95pts
La Closerie Les Beguines
Base vintage: 2019
Disgorgement: 2022
To the nose notes of ripe pear, confit citrus and mirabelle plum. On the palate the Champagne mirrors the nose. Other notes of warm spices, dried herbs and balsamic hints of cola leaf and rhubarb, ending with touches of incense and roasted barley coffee emerge with time.
96pts
La Closerie Grand Cru
Base vintage: 2022
Disgorgement: September 2025
Complex and expressive bouquet with fruity notes of apricot and white peach. Everything gets more complex and layered with notes of: citrus peel, kumquats and mandarin, brioche, toasted almond and light pastry, earthy hints of salted hazelnut, curry leaf ending with a floral note of lavander.
Unfortunately still very young and not at its best, but it showcased the immense potential of this grand cru!
