Egly-Ouriet Cuvée Vieilles Vignes
I’ve decided to make my Friday night’s entertainment Champagne. This Friday, it was a superb Egly-Ouriet Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs (disg. Sept 2001). After pouring, this wine presented a heading aroma of red fruit compote, yeasty richness, smoke and a hint of burnt honey. The colour was gold tinged, almost with a pinkish hue of antique gold jewelry. The palate has a delicious structure, acid tingles over the tongue, the mousse is creamy and fine. Though rich, this remains elegant and sophisticated. A great Champagne. This wine spent and amazing 51 months on lees.
