Egly Ouriet Grand Cru Extra Brut N/V

A benchmark grower Champagne, this Grand Cru dazzles with a luminous gold hue and an exuberant stream of pinpoint bubbles. The nose is a masterclass in complexity, weaving together toasted brioche, yellow apple, and a whisper of honeyed almond. On the palate, the wine unfolds with precision—flavors of lemon curd, crushed chalk, and a touch of gingerbread emerge, framed by racy acidity and a bone-dry finish (dosage: 2g/l). Aged for 48 months on lees, it earns 96 points for its seamless balance of power and finesse. Pair with lobster thermidor or aged Comté cheese.
