Champagne Egly-Ouriet

Champagne Egly-Ouriet is one of the most celebrated grower Champagne houses in the world — a family estate based in Ambonnay, a Grand Cru village on the Montagne de Reims renowned for producing the finest Pinot Noir in Champagne. Michel Egly-Ouriet farms 9 hectares of vines across Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzenay, and Aÿ — all Grand Cru or Premier Cru sites — and produces Champagnes of extraordinary depth, vinosity, and ageing potential.

What distinguishes Egly-Ouriet from the great Champagne houses is the insistence on full terroir expression. The vines are old — averaging 35 to 40 years, with some parcels over 60 years — and farmed with minimal intervention. Yields are low, and the wines are vinified in a combination of stainless steel and old oak barrels, then aged on lees for extended periods far beyond the legal minimum.

The flagship cuvée, VP Grand Cru Extra Brut, is a blend of Pinot Noir from Ambonnay and Bouzy with a small percentage of Chardonnay. It is aged for a minimum of 60 months on lees — double the Prestige Cuvée minimum — producing a Champagne of remarkable complexity and structure. The 'Les Vignes de Bisseuil' 1er Cru is a single-vineyard Pinot Noir from a parcel in Bisseuil, showing more finesse and delicacy than the VP. The Coteaux Champenois Ambonnay Rouge — a still red wine from Ambonnay Pinot Noir — is one of the rarest and most sought-after still wines in Champagne.
