If there is a champagne you need to taste before you die it is this! … perhaps the best introduction to the wines of Francis Egly – this is a wine that does not require any bottle age.  It is stunning right now! This is all about Grand Cru, low yield Pinot Noir.  Natural fermentation with wild yeasts only.  The first period of the élevage lasts almost one year, with the wine remaining on its fine lees.
