Drop 04 · Egly-Ouriet & Friends — 6 bottles

Egly-Ouriet — and friends. Six bottles of sparkling royalty at a price that shouldn't exist.

This is the friends' box: the bottles we put on the table when we want to show off. The headliner needs no clues — Egly-Ouriet, the most worshipped grower in Champagne, the one with the waiting lists. The friends stay sealed until arrival:

• Egly-Ouriet — Les Prémices Brut: the door into the house style. Ripe, golden, already unmistakably his.
• Egly-Ouriet — Les Vignes de Vrigny Premier Cru: pure old-vine Meunier, the underdog grape. Proof the worship is earned.
• The reserve brut of the other name sommeliers whisper: deep, wine-first, built on patience.
• Twin bottles from one house — the white of the black grape: muscle, red-fruit shadow, quiet power…
• …and the white of the white grape: chalk-light, precise, its mirror twin. Same cellar, two souls.
• To close, not Champagne at all: a farmer's sparkling from over the hills with a cult following — it embarrasses bottles twice its price.

At retail these six sell for €454 — and every bottle is already secured from the producers, which is exactly why this drop can't grow past 30 boxes. In the drop: €349 — 23% off. We are, frankly, leaving money on the table — but the truck has to leave full. Friends revealed on arrival.

Bottles pictured anywhere on this site are past evidence, for display only — never the bottles in your box. Selection is entirely at our discretion; your labels are revealed on arrival.
