egly ouriet vv grand cru 2008
Reference: 9406Stock: 1 (stock immediately available)
Condition: bottle in perfect condition
the 2008 brut grand cru millésime was eventually disgorged with only five grams per liter dosage, as francis egly and i had discussed last summer, and the wine has turned out just as magically as i anticipated. i have already drunk five or six bottles, and on every occasion, the 2008 has immensely rewarded time in the glass, as it's as tightly wound as one would expect a great ambonnay champagne in a great vintage to be. blossoming with inviting aromas of orchard fruit, citrus oil, pralines and freshly baked bread, much as i observed last year, it's full-bodied, deep and layered, with immense depth and concentration, racy acids and elegantly muscular structuring dry extract. long and penetrating, this will really reward further aging; indeed, egly mentioned that he intends to keep back some of the 2008 for re-release at a later date, a decision which means more consumers will have the chance to experience the wine at the true peak of its powers. but even at this early stage, it is already a monument to what champagne's grower revolution has achieved over the last 30 or so years. ---wine advocate
