Egly-Ouriet Les Vignes de Vrigny is a grower Champagne produced from biodynamically farmed Pinot Meunier grapes. The grapes for this release come from a single Premier Cru site of 50-year-old vines growing on sandy soils in the village of Vrigny. About 20% of reserve wines make up the blend. The wine was aged on lees for 36 months before disgorgement in July 2020. "Based on the 2018 vintage, Egly`s newly disgorged NV Brut Premier Cru Les Vignes de Vrigny bursts with aromas of white peach, crisp orchard fruit, apple blossom and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, ample and vibrant, with a pure, seamless profile and a precise, saline finish, it`s an immensely charming wine produced from Pinot Meunier vinified in tank." Wine Advocate, 2022
