The 2012 Brut Millésime Grand Cru is a Champagne of tremendous finesse and nuance with the Chardonnay really driving the balance today. Chalk white pepper mint sage and dried pear are some of the notes that come alive in the glass. Readers will find a brilliant finely cut Champagne endowed with tremendous energy especially for the year. This is pure class. - By Antonio Galloni on March 2023

Francis Egly's 2012 Brut Grand Cru Millésime is predictably brilliant; but it's also a serious structured wine that will need time to unwind. Mingling notes of citrus oil pear and stone fruit with hints of freshly baked bread praline and baking spices it's full-bodied deep and multidimensional with huge concentration and a taut layered core. Built around a racy spine of acidity and prodigious reserves of chalky extract it's long precise and remarkably fine-boned and elegant for such a powerful wine. Make no mistake this is one of the wines of the vintage but?like the 2008?it will demand patience. With more age on cork however I wouldn't be surprised if it began to close in on a three-digit score.
