エグリ・ウーリエ　トラディション

　cool便/エグリ・ウーリエ・シャンパーニュ・トラディション　CP91最近とても気に入っているシャンパンです。でも高くなって来ました。5000円位で買えた時代が懐かしいです。でもこの値段でも他のシャンパンに比べると安いと思います。ワインとして飲んで美味しいからです。泡がないと飲めないシャンパンが多いですが、ウーリエのワインは一味違います。泡は細かく力強く、長期熟成させている事がよく分かります。香はトースト、洋ナシ、蜜入りサン富士、イーストの香りです。味わいは厚みのあるボディー、豊かなミネラル、長い余韻、実に素晴らしいシャンパンです。このシャンパンで食事をスタートさせると何か凄い事がこれから始まる予感を感じさせてくれます。NV Egly-Ouriet Pere et Fils Brut Tradition Wine Advocate # 162 Dec 2005 Pierre Rovani 91 Drink -  $48-$64 (50) The profound, intense aromas of the non-vintage Brut Tradition Grand Cru (Juillet 2005) offers scents of pears, yeast, and toast. A dense, medium to full-bodied wine that spent 37 months on its yeast, it reveals a lush personality of mineral and white pepper-powdered pears. A slight note of tangy apple appears in the finish providing some lift to this serious effort. Egly-Ouriet fashions wines of substantial richness, more suited to those who desire vinosity over vivacity. The estate's consumer friendly back labels list both the number of months the bottle was kept on its yeasts as well as its disgorgement date.      Wine Advocate # 144 Dec 2002 Robert Parker 90 Drink -  $48-$64 (40) This wine was recommended, but no tasting note was given. Wine Advocate # 107 Oct 1996 Robert Parker 95 Drink -  $48-$64 (28) The Non-Vintage Brut Vieilles Vignes is a profound bottle of Champagne. A blend of two-thirds Pinot Noir and one-third Chardonnay produced a rich, full-bodied Champagne with a wheat thin and honey-scented nose, and forceful, rich, boldly stated flavors that offer elegance as well as authority. The finish is dry and long. Still extremely young, this Champagne is capable of further development. The price makes it a steal. It was only recently that I discovered and began extolling the wines of Egly-Ouriet. I realize the large Champagne firms dominate Champagne sales in this country, but one of the most encouraging trends is that small, high quality estate bottlers are now beginning to receive some representation. Egly-Ouriet's Champagnes are so good that I have begun buying them to drink chez moi. The new releases are gorgeous examples of just how rich Champagne can be without being too heavy or cumbersome. Readers will be delighted to know that this small estate prints the date of disgorgement on each bottle, a practice that should be followed by all Champagne producers. Given the intensity of these exquisite wines, they should be drunk with food rather than served as an aperitif.
