Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Extra Brut – Top-Rated French Champagne

Egly-Ouriet Brut Grand Cru NV Champagne

Crafted in France’s prestigious Champagne region, this non-vintage masterpiece from Egly-Ouriet transcends expectations—blending 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards in Ambonnay, Bouzy, and Verzenay. While technically a multi-vintage cuvée (anchored in 2018 with 40% reserve wines dating to 2016), its complexity rivals vintage expressions.

Expect a symphony of orchard fruits—apricot, spiced apple, and grilled lemon—woven with nuanced layers of honeyed pear, white flowers, and toasted hazelnut. The palate balances power with elegance: medium-bodied yet intensely persistent, featuring creamy textures lifted by vibrant acidity. Barrel fermentation (100%) adds depth without overt oakiness, creating a chiseled structure that evolves beautifully with age.

Critics celebrate its brilliance:
– Decanter (95 pts): “Precise and expressive—heat from 2018 translates into lingering fruit intensity.”
– Wine Advocate (92+ pts): “Pillowy yet precise, with whispers of mint and praline.”
– Jancis Robinson: “A dynamic crescendo of caramelised cream and peach purée—demands contemplation.”

At 12.5% ABV, it’s ideal for elevating celebrations or pairing with decadent dishes like herb-crusted steak or truffle risotto. As part of our Fine & Rare collection, this investment-grade champagne offers unmatched craftsmanship for discerning collectors.
