Egly-Ouriet Blanc de Noirs Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Brut

Egly-Ouriet is a prominent Champagne producer, located at Ambonnay in the Montagne de Reims. It has attained something of a cult status for its richly coloured, textured wines, and is a favourite of notable American wine critic Robert Parker.

Review

“A blend of the 2015 and 2014 vintages, Egly's emblematic NV Brut Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Les Crayères was disgorged this year with only one gram per litre dosage. Bursting with aromas of mirabelle plum, Anjou pear and green apple mingled with notions of freshly baked bread, honeycomb and praline, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, its satiny attack segueing into a deep, layered mid-palate of striking texture and concentration. Concluding with a long, intensely saline finish, it's another brilliant wine from a great producer at the top of his form" - 98+pts, Wine Advocate
