N/V Brut Tradition Grand Cru, Egly-Ouriet (Disgorged 2022)
Egly-Ouriet is one of the most respected and established grower Champagne domaines on the Montagne de Reims, with high-tech and spacious cellars set in Ambonnay. It is run by the hugely talented Francis Egly who is now joined by daughter Clémence. All the vines are classified grand cru, spread across the villages of Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay. Their wines are thrilling and vivacious, with a wonderful vinous intensity, and have quite rightly earned them a cult following. This release of their Brut Tradition (exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards) was disgorged in 2022. The Egly-Ouriet wines are chalky, persistent, and deep, with an effortless and stylish richness from their extended ageing.
