Tonight's bottle · Grower Champagne, rich, vinous, serious

Egly-Ouriet Champagne

🇫🇷Champagne, France · Pinot Noir / Chardonnay

Grower Champagne that tastes like somewhere real — toasted brioche, red apple, a mineral backbone that reminds you this is wine before it is bubbles. Serious without being austere, celebratory without being frivolous. The opening chapter and the last page at once.
