Egly-Ouriet Les Vignes de Vrigny is a grower Champagne produced from biodynamically farmed Pinot Meunier grapes. The grapes for this release come from a single Premier Cru site of 50-year-old vines growing on sandy soils in the village of Vrigny. About 20% of reserve wines make up the blend. The wine was aged on lees for 36 months before disgorgement in July 2020. "Based on the 2018 vintage, Egly`s newly disgorged NV Brut Premier Cru Les Vignes de Vrigny bursts with aromas of white peach, crisp orchard fruit, apple blossom and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, ample and vibrant, with a pure, seamless profile and a precise, saline finish, it`s an immensely charming wine produced from Pinot Meunier vinified in tank." Wine Advocate, 2022

The NV Vieilles Vignes de Vrigny (Meunier) is one of the best vintages of this cuvée I can remember tasting. Bright and finely cut, the Vieilles Vignes sizzles with tension from start to finish. Dried pear, spice, crushed rocks, mint and white pepper all race out of the glass. Meunier has rarely been so refined, so nuanced. Give this a year or two to unwind. Dosage is 2 grams per liter. Disgorged: September, 2022.

From sandy clay soils, the recent release of the NV Brut Premier Cru Les Vignes de Vrigny is a pure Pinot Meunier based on the 2013 harvest. The wine has a delicate bouquet and is very fine and silky on the palate. This is an elegant, perfectly round and delicate Vrigny with moderate pressure and mousse. The finish is clear, fresh and mineral. Tasted at the Trait d`Union in Vertus, April 2018. Disgorged in November 2017.

100% Meunier, old vines. Unfiltered, 40 months on the lees and disgorged in Nov 2008 (thanks to an excellent back label). Appley fruit on the nose, and a real mouthful of zesty fruit on the palate. Pretty astringent finish. Very moderate fizz. Really interesting wine. Super fruity but not sweet. Good integrity. Neat finish. (JR)
