Egly Ouriet, Grand Cru Brut Millesime 2015 750ML sale The 2012 Clos Apalta started

The 2012 Clos Apalta started off a little closed

It carries through to a medium body with fine tannins

plum and plenty of sauvage character

I wouldn't be surprised to see it surpassing its brawnier elder sibling

and subtle white floral hints

Egly Ouriet, Grand Cru Brut Millesime 2015 750ML sale The 2012 Clos Apalta startedThe 2015 Extra Brut Millsime Grand Cru is an unqualified success from Egly Ouriet in a vintage that has proven to be uneven throughout Champagne. Citrus peel, white flowers, sage and white pepper abound. Theres gorgeous freshness and tension, with none of the vegetal notes found at many addresses. The 2015 doesn't quite have the stature of some prior vintages, but it is supremely delicious and inviting. Impeccable.
