Golden and perfect. White pepper nose shows rich piths of lime and grapefruit, underripe pineapple and a yeasty monolith of frozen lemon. Minerality central as silken threads of chive and celeriac streak like lightning across lemon zest, oil and pith fields to clementine reduction drops. Ethereal and transportive medicine here!

My favourite cuvée from Egly - 100% Pinot Noir. No Pinot Meunière Delectable. Only 30 cms of Top soil and the roots go straight into the chalk. One could smell the chalky minerality. Average age of the vines is 40 years - with the oldest planted in Ambonnay in 1946 with base Wine coming from the 2009 and 2010 vintages. Great power Flavour and Intensity.

Fantastic Colour - Pale Rose Gold. 100% Pinot Noir, 5 years on lees, Disgorged July 2014. Cherry and butterscotch notes with a hint of ginger. Interestingly this is grown in Ambonnay in an area where there is only a foot of topsoil before the chalk (Les Crayeres). This gives the palate a pronounced minerality with a salty tang. A full bodied yet elegant Champagne - brilliant fizz! One of the 1001 wines.

Hands down the best NV Champagne I have tasted. 'Les Crayeres' is 100% Pinot Noir and lives up to its name. Terroir, sense of place, chalky, effortless. Gold and rightfully so.

My first bottle, deg. 2020. Beautiful brioche on the nose and palate. Balanced and feminine. Salivating acidity. Excellent stuff like a high end Burgundy with bubbles. 96+

One of the top champagnes I have tasted. I don’t have the words to describe. Complex, pleasure, precise. Masterful. I believe it was a blend of 2014/2015 50/50.
