A pioneer of the grower Champagne movement. Francis Egly took over in 1982 and—alongside friend Anselme Selosse—was among the first to bottle 100% estate wines rather than sell to négociants. He pioneered biodynamic farming when "only a handful of growers" followed such principles. This cuvée showcases 100% Pinot Meunier from 1970 vines in Premier Cru Vrigny on sandy-chalky soils. Rated 93 by Decanter, 95 by Stelzer; awarded 3 stars by La Revue du Vin de France (just 56 domaines in all of France). Pre-arrival.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
