Practicing organic. 100% Pinot Meunier. 50% 2018, 30% 2017, 20% 2016. From an east facing single-parcel in Vrigny 1er Cru. 50+ year old vines. Indigenous yeast. No malo. Fermented and aged in stainless steel. Aged 36 months on the lees. Dosage: 2g/L. Unfined and unfiltered.
The NV Brut Les Vignes de Vrigny 1er Cru is gorgeous in the way it balances the natural depth of Meunier with real energy and vibrancy. Dried pear, spice and crushed flowers all open in the glass, but what impresses me about this release of Egly's pure Meunier is its translucence and finesse. The Vignes de Vrigny is so expressive and gorgeous in this release. Disgorged: July, 2020. (AG) (11/2020)
