Tasting notes
Egly-Ouriet is this amazing Champagne producer that respects traditions while also pushing boundaries a bit. Their "Brut Les Vignes de Vrigny" is something special because it's made entirely from Pinot Meunier. That's a grape you usually find in blends, so this bottle stands out on its own.
In Volume 13, Mihk served this wine to Shizuku, highlighting its unique charm. It was one of those moments where a usually supporting grape shines in the lead role, making you rethink what Champagne can be.
The wine's appearance is a pale golden hue, really inviting, with fine bubbles rising gracefully. Take a whiff, and you'll catch fresh green apple combined with a subtle toastiness, like the scent of freshly baked bread. On tasting, it's got this lovely fruit richness, and the acidity is crisp, giving it a nice structure overall.
There's a light mineral finish that lingers, coaxing you to take another sip. If you're looking to enjoy a special moment, chilling this wine a bit and serving it would be just perfect.
