Tasting notes
Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Extra Brut NV is a powerful and complex Champagne with aromas of pear, mirabelle plum, almond cream, honeycomb, and toasted brioche. It has a richly textured palate with fine, persistent mousse and flavors of citrus oil, ripe stone fruits, and subtle spice. The finish is long and saline, with vibrant acidity and chalky minerality. It's known for its depth, elegance, and age-worthiness.
Expert Ratings
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 92/100
"Based on the 2017 vintage, Egly's NV Grand Cru unwinds in the glass with aromas of pear, freshly baked bread, lemon zest, tangerine and praline. Full-bodied, layered and elegantly muscular, with terrific concentration, racy acids and chalky structure, it concludes with a long, gently honeyed finish. Egly has always been enthusiastic about the quality of his Ambonnay fruit in 2017, and this bottling certainly validates his early confidence." William Kelley
