About this Item
Egly-Ouriet produces terroir-expressive Champagne primarily from the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay, as well as from Bouzy, Verzenay and Vrigny. Owner and winemaker Francis Egly took over from his father in 1982, after which he immediately converted the domaine to 100% estate bottling, and in the process became one of the original pioneers in the grower Champagne movement. The domaine comprises 12 hectares of organically-farmed old vine Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay—50 years old on average.
Critics Ratings
'Plenty of red fruit on the nose – mostly the orange-skinned Victoria plum. Tight, dry-tasting and quite vinous on the palate. Half wine – half champagne. Satisfying depth and length but with freshness and fine mousse. Very good with some potential to age in bottle.' - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Oct 2015)
'Rich and vinous, with a thread of ground spice and graphite unraveling through the flavors of blackberry pâte de fruit, white peach puree, candied ginger and toasted almond. The refined, tightly knit mousse plays off of the sleek acidity, creating a mouthwatering impression on the lasting finish.' - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Oct 2015)
