Founded in 1930, the estate has evolved into a cult Champagne producer, beloved by connoisseurs around the world, and is now considered one of the finest grower Champagnes. With a focus on single-vineyard, vintage Champagne, Egly-Ouriet emphasizes the expression of terroir, highlighting the unique character of each vineyard parcel. The estate spans 21 hectares, farmed organically or biodynamically, with 10 hectares in the Grand Cru villages of Ambonnay 8 ha, Bouzy 0.3 ha, and Verzenay 1.7 ha. In Premier Cru villages; Vrigny 2 ha, Bisseuil 1.3 ha and recent expansion into Trigny 7.75 ha.rrIn 1982, Francis Egly took the helm of the family business, returning it to 100% estate bottling and driving the brand to new heights. In 2008, he further enhanced quality by installing two Coquard presses, allowing for better control over juice extraction. The juice is then fermented in mostly older oak barrels, the malolactic fermentation is typically suppressed and the wine spends extended time resting on the lees before blending. rrToday, his children, Clémence and Charles, play key roles in the business—Clémence oversees exports, while Charles manages the vineyards, ensuring the continued legacy of excellence and innovation at Champagne Egly-Ouriet. rrWeather: A wet winter and mild spring gave way to an exceptionally dry summer from mid-May onwards. Hot weather prevailed until mid-August, when the skies opened again. Rains gave way to fine, cool, yet sunny weather for the first two weeks of harvest, which commenced on August 29th. The 2015 vintage has a lot of common denominators with the 2003 vintage but the 2015s are showing a better balance of weight and freshness with their average potential alcohol level of 10.5% and total acidity of 6.9 g\/l.rrTechnical Information:rVineyards: 100% Grand Cru | AmbonnayrGrape Varieties: 70% Pinot Noir \u0026amp; 30% Chardonnay rLees Ageing: 8 YearsrDisgorged: July 2024rDosage: 1 g\/lrDrink: Now to 2032rrTasting Note: Complex aromas of flowers and yellow and white-fleshed fruit like peach and pear combined with vanilla, over hints of honey and green tea.
