Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Brut Rose

48 months on lees, It should be enough to state that Anselme Selosse buys his Pinot Noir from Francis Egly in order to produce the Selosse Rosé. The same principles of vinification apply as to all Egly’s wines. The blend is 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay. 60% comes from 2006 with 40% vins de reserve including 10% Coteaux Champenois Rouge 2005. Dosage is again a negligible 2 grams per litre. It’s a stunning wine with lifted aromatics of ripe red fruits and smoke. In the mouth it is fine yet incredibly intense, with a long, earthy finish. So unbelievably pure and refined it is incomparable to any other Rosé we know.

“The NV Brut Rose Grand Cru is made from vineyards in Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzy. This is another totally convincing wine from Egly-Ouriet, not to mention one of the strongest wines in the line-up. The Rose Grand Cru captivates for its gorgeous, fragrant fruit and silky, refined finish. It is a jewel of a wine. The Rose Grand Cru spent 48 months on its lees and was disgorged in July, 2010. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2015.” 93 points, Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate # 192 Dec, 2010.
