It’s a wine of tremendous finesse, wonderfully bright and loaded with Pinot character—juicy red fruits and all kinds of spice—and a long, tonic close that’s chalky and saline. It’s a terrific food wine and will gain more and more depth over the next three to 12 months. It’s as good a release of this cuvée as we’ve tasted. So, grab what you can! As we’ve said many times, if Egly made only this wine, he would still be one of the region’s superstars; it puts to shame many a prestige cuvée at considerably higher prices. The 2019 base was bottled with 2 g/L and disgorged in July 2024.
