The 2003 Champagne Brut Grand Cru from Egly-Ouriet impresses with its rich bouquet of dried fruits, brioche, honey, and toasted notes. The warm 2003 vintage results in a generous, full-bodied cuvée with fine bubbles and a creamy texture. On the palate, the maturity brings roundness, beautifully balanced by a lingering minerality. The finish is long and complex, with hints of hazelnut and toasted bread. A deep, characterful gastronomic Champagne.
