Egly-Ouriet Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru

"Egly-Ouriet's famous NV Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Brut Les Crayères is 100% old vine Pinot Noir from the eponymous Lieu-dit in Ambonnay, whose vines were planted in 1947. The youngest release blends 40% of vintage 2008 with 60% of 2009. The wine starts very intense on the nose and intertwines pineapple aromas with new oak flavors. Pure, lean, straight and elegant, this is a full-bodied, complex and very persistent Blanc de Noir with great tension and ageing potential. The low dosage is only two grams per liter."
