Absolutely wonderful golden color. Caramel, Meyer lemon, honeysuckle. And the restaurant was wonderful too

Outstanding. Extended tirage. Super complex - stone fruit, brioche, marzipan, ginger, bruised apple. Just singing - super bright acidity wrapped in a blanket of slightly oxidized nuttiness. Still energetic, finishes very long. Wow.

Gosh these wines are amazing. So aromatic wafting from the glass with layers of spiced orchard fruit, bread dough and honey. The palate shows incredible richness and concentration that’s cut with racy citrusy acids and a salty mineral finish that just doesn’t end. Incredible Champagne! Egly is stuff of legends.

Wowza. This is stunning. Immensely concentrated with riveting energy and power, 2012 Millésime is simply explosive, wafting from the glass with layers of rich orchard fruit, pastry crust, roasted nuts and drizzles of caramel. The palate is seamless and precise in its richness, with a chalky minerality and crazy long finish. One for the ages. ✨

Medium gold color - some oxidation after 20 years but incredible power in the palate. Meyer lemon, chamomile and wet stone minerality, green apple, pear and white peach with raspberry and wild strawberry coming out with time in the glass. Toast, pastry, brioche all testify to the time on the lees. Terrific structure and vibrancy and wildly long finish. Exceptional example of aged Champagne.
