Review
“Francis Egly‘s 2012 Brut Grand Cru Millésime is predictably brilliant. Mingling notes of citrus oil, pear and stone fruit with hints of freshly baked bread, praline and baking spices, it’s full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with huge concentration and a taut, layered core. Built around a racy spine of acidity and prodigious reserves of chalky extract, it’s long, precise, and remarkably fine-boned and elegant for such a powerful wine." - 98pts+, Wine Advocate
