I don't usually attach a number to wines. But this was a perfect wine. Unbelievable balance between hedonistic richness and gorgeous minerality and structure. The best bottle of wine I've opened in a LONG time. #eglyouriet #ambonnay #pinotparadise #grandcru #rarecreature — 9 years ago
V-DAY bubbles, a delicious cliche!
Orange and copper pink hues, a thick mousse and steady bubbles.
The nose was minerally, some hints of citrus and a yeasty, leasy note.
The palate was bright and juicy, at a certain point when the out warned up the wine the flavors popped with blood orange, pink grapefruit, sea spray, mineral and biscuit flavors. A fantastic rose #champagne that is powerful, it blows the doors open in complexity, depth and length. #eglyouriet — 9 years ago
My first VP, reminded me of Krug MV with a denser texture. The VP stands for Vieillisement Prolonge, meaning prolonged aging on lees in bottle. In most cases this is 6-7 years of aging on the lees.
Intense gold color and a fine mousse.
The nose is rich and deep with honey, caramel apples, toasted brioche and roasted nuts.
The palate is rich and full bodied, a bitter almond and crazy laser beam of acidity slices right through the density to bring the palate freshness. Time in bottle should round this out nicely, it's a beast! Typically about 70% Pinoit Noir and 30% Chardonnay this was disgordged in July 2012.

Killer! Big, bold! Classic #eglyouriet — 8 years ago
#happybirthday complex with both volume and a straight line of minerality. A pleasure to drink. #eglyouriet #2004 — 9 years ago

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!
