Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Brut - 75cl

The Grand Cru Brut cuvée from Egly-Ouriet Champagne perfectly illustrates the excellence of the Ambonnay terroir and the expertise of an exceptional house. Meticulously crafted, it captivates with its rich aromas, smooth texture, and impressive freshness.

Creation of the Grand Cru Brut Egly-Ouriet Champagne

This cuvée is composed of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay, sourced from prestigious plots in Ambonnay, Bouzy, and Verzenay. These Grand Cru terroirs are renowned for their clay-limestone soils rich in chalk, providing the grapes with ideal ripeness and distinctive minerality.

The winemaking process is based on precise aging: 20% of the wines are aged in new oak barrels for 12 months, followed by 4 years of aging on lees in the estate's cool cellars. No filtration or fining is done, ensuring a pure expression of the wine. With a very low dosage of just 1g/L, this cuvée highlights the precision and liveliness of the Egly-Ouriet style.

The adherence to traditions and the meticulous attention to every detail make this cuvée a true benchmark for lovers of full-bodied and gastronomic champagnes.
