    The wine

    This vibrant yellow Grand Cru Brut is very pure, winey and distinguished, but also fresh. Beautiful notes of yellow-fleshed fruit combine with exotic flavours of mango and passion fruit. A hint of acacia honey caresses the taste buds on the finish. This wine will be at its best after a few years in the cellar.

    Information about domain Egly-Ouriet

    The history of Maison Egly-Ouriet began after the Second World War, with three hectares (ha) of vines in the Grand Cru Ambonnay. Subsequently, other plots were acquired, today reaching 12ha (10ha in Grands Crus and 2ha in Premier Cru), planted mainly in Pinot Noir, supplemented by Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier and originating from mass selections. All the wines are vinified in barriques and age at least four years before being marketed. They are made without malolactic fermentation to maintain a maximum of freshness. Francis Egly, a Récoltant Manipulant, runs this renowned domain that produces high quality, precise and elegant champagnes.
