Egly Ouriet

Summary
Egly-Ouriet’s Brut Grand Cru Millésime 2008 is an exceptional vintage Champagne crafted from old-vine Grand Cru parcels in Ambonnay. This blend, primarily composed of Pinot Noir with a touch of Chardonnay, undergoes primary fermentation in oak and is notable for its extended lees aging of approximately 9-10 years. The result is a wine that showcases a complex bouquet featuring orchard fruits, citrus oil, and freshly baked bread, alongside hints of honey and cherry. On the palate, it is full-bodied with racy acidity and a layered texture, culminating in a long, sophisticated finish. This rare magnum format promises remarkable longevity and is a true testament to the evolving craftsmanship in Champagne. Blend percentages: predominantly Pinot Noir with some Chardonnay.
