Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Brut Rose NV
Based on the 2014 vintage and disgorged in July 2020, the latest release of Egly's NV Brut Rosé Grand Cru is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of tangerine oil, crisp red berries, toasted almonds and white flowers—in other words, much as I described the 2013-base last year but with a touch more aromatic intensity. Full-bodied, vinous and enveloping, with superb depth at the core, racy acids and a pillowy mousse, it concludes with a long, penetrating finish. While it's showing beautifully today, I'd love to revisit it with another year on cork. - 94+ Robert Parker
