Brut 1er Cru les Vignes de Vrigny

Les Vignes de Vrigny differs from the house's other cuvées in its origin: it is made exclusively from old Pinot Meunier vines. The result is a very delicate champagne. Every bottle from Egly-Ouriet spends at least three years in the cellar before it is sold, which benefits its ageing potential. The dosage is very low or absent altogether, which gives the wine purity and complexity.

This cuvée rewards patience, as a few more years in the cellar will do it good. Drink it at 10 to 12 °C, not too cold, in a generous white wine glass. That gives the fine structure room. Light, delicate dishes such as poultry or fish make good companions, as they won't overpower its delicate character.
