Tasting notes
The NV Champagne Premier Cru Les Vignes De Vrigny Extra Brut (100% Meunier with a 2021 base) is a bright straw color, and the nose is very pure. I love this vintage, which has focus and refinement, with a fine texture, refreshing acidity, and a clean lift on the finish. Medium-bodied, it has a fine mousse, hints of white grapefruit citrus, and a mineral-textured finish.

Issuing from four parcels planted with Pinot Meunier in 1970 and vinified entirely in tank, Egly's latest release of the NV Les Vignes de Vrigny is based on the 2020 vintage and incorporates 50% reserve wines (from 2019 and 2018). Offering up an expressive bouquet of pear, rye bread and red cherry, it is medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and fruit-forward, with ripe but racy acidity and an expansive finish. It was disgorged in October 2024 with one gram per liter dosage.
Made from 50% reserve wine with the base 2018, the NV Champagne Les Vignes de Vrigny is fruity and fresh with great energy in its notes of raspberry, strawberry, and wet stone. The palate is medium-bodied and inviting, with fresh yeasty bread dough and a granular. chalky texture. Entirely Meunier, it’s long and has a spine of acidity. Drink 2025-2035.
