Tasting notes
A powerful, complex Champagne showing exquisite depth and finesse. Aromas of pear, mirabelle plum, almond cream, honeycomb, and toasted brioche lead into a richly textured palate. The mousse is fine and persistent, with flavors of citrus oil, ripe stone fruits, and subtle spice. Finishes long and saline, underpinned by vibrant acidity and chalky minerality. A vinous, age-worthy Champagne with real presence and elegance.
Champagne Egly-Ouriet 'Millésime' Grand Cru 2014 is an exceptional vintage cuvée from the renowned grower-producer based in Ambonnay, a Grand Cru village in the Montagne de Reims. It reflects the estate’s dedication to precise viticulture and long aging, delivering a Champagne of impressive depth and complexity.
Expert Ratings
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 97/100
"One of the very finest wines produced in this less heralded vintage... full-bodied, satiny and layered, with a deep, concentrated mid-palate of exceptional purity and cut, concluding with a long, penetrating and mouthwateringly saline finish."
Decanter: 96/100
"A bright and fluid iteration... likely to hit its sweet spot with five to 10 years on cork."
Vinous (Antonio Galloni): 94/100
"Ripe peach, pear, lemon confit, burnt sugar and dried flowers are all typical of a Champagne that has arrived at its first plateau of maturity."
