Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Rosé Extra Brut - 2017 Base NV

Taut and focused, with cranberry, white pepper, and a dusting of chalk setting the tone from the first sip. Fine bubbles carry real energy here, and the 2g/L dosage keeps everything lean and direct, the fruit's natural snap does all the work. There's a cool mintiness threading through the mid-palate that lifts the whole thing, and the finish is stony and clean. A precise, tightly wound rosé that captures what Egly-Ouriet does best.
