Egly-Ouriet 'Tradition' 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
“The latest release of the NV Brut Grand Cru (which will no longer be known as "Tradition") was disgorged in June with three grams per liter dosage and is based on the 2014 vintage, complemented by reserve wines from 2013, 2012 and 2011. Opening in the glass with aromas of warm bread, fresh peach, green apples and dried white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and layered, with refined structuring extract, a bright spine of acidity and excellent concentration, concluding with a long and precise finish.
