Grand Cru Brut Millésimé Egly-Ouriet 2017

The excellence of Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Champagne lies in its meticulous journey from vine to bottle. The clay-limestone soils, typical of Grand Crus, and the south-south-east direction of the Ambonnay vineyard offer the ideal terroir.
From the harvest, the production process starts with all the wine being vinified in oak barrels, followed by extended ageing on the lees for eight years before disgorging. This ageing period in bottles allows the wine to form a patina, thus revealing its extraordinary aromatic subtlety.
On the nose, this wine, made from a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, unveils a complex bouquet that combines floral notes of white and yellow flowers with herbaceous notes of sage and fresh mint, as well as indulgent hints of acacia honey and toasted almonds. Touches of citrus fruits, apples, pears and red fruits give the wine a lively freshness.
On the palate, the cuvée is distinguished by its power, concentration and energetic texture. With a light dosage of only 2g/l, this wine expresses all the purity of its terroir and the finesse of its production, embodying the excellence of Maison Egly-Ouriet.
