A remarkably fresh, unfined and unfiltered, deliciously profound “basic” brut that is leagues above many other comparable bottles. 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay; from Egly’s finest grand cru, old-vine vineyards in Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzy and Versenay. Warmed crepes drizzled with red fruit compote; pink and white flowers; a touch of vanilla and butter on the expressive nose. The mouth is electric, with plenty of pepper and fresh ginger—powerful yet elegant, with notes of black and red cherries made frothy and creamy with a hint of bubbles. A tribute to the greatness of Ambonnay and certainly to the peerless quality of Egly.

Egly-Ouriet Champagne, Ambonnay
11.10.2009
Winemaker Francis Egly has earned a place at the very top of the grower Champagne elite, and his wines have achieved “cult” status. You'll find Egly Champagne on the wine lists of the world's three-star restaurants. You'll also find it in the cellars of those who know that while Krug and other top producers can easily be had for a certain (often exaggerated) price, Egly Champagne is both rare and exceptional. Egly Champagne is produced in microscopic quantities; it has few peers in terms of quality; and if you appreciate fine Champagne, it is certainly worth going any length to acquire. continue reading >>

Egly-Ouriet Blanc de Noirs Les Crayeres Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru
France / Champagne
Egly says that “Crayeres” is the essence of what Champagne used to be, before Chardonnay was involved—to savor this wine is to experience Champagne history. 100% fermented in barrel; not filtered or fined. The nose is tantalizingly complex, with mixed notes of jelled red fruits, Mirabelle plums, pepper and chalk dust...
