Egly-Ouriet
Egly-Ouriet
Egly-Ouriet is a grower Champagne estate based in Ambonnay on the Montagne de Reims and directed by Francis Egly. Francis assumed responsibility from his father Michel in the early 1980s, representing the fourth generation of the family’s winegrowing work. The domaine’s vineyards include Pinot Noir-dominant holdings in Ambonnay and neighbouring grand-cru villages, plus Meunier parcels outside that core.
Estate bottling and extended lees ageing became defining parts of the modern programme, though exact durations remain specific to each cuvée and release. Authoritative importers document the family transition, village base and vineyard focus where a detailed official public history is not available. Egly-Ouriet remains a family grower in Ambonnay, working predominantly Grand Cru vineyards on the Montagne de Reims.
Egly-Ouriet NV Les Vignes de Vrigny Premier Cru Extra Brut Champagne
French Sparkling
Pear, apple and white grapefruit lead a bright, expressive bouquet. Raspberry and strawberry add a red-fruited accent, while honey, buttered toast and ginger bring savoury depth. The palate is precise and energetic, balancing a creamy mousse with vivid acidity and smoky chalky minerality. Dry and persistent, it closes with orchard fruit, citrus and a clean mineral lift.
Egly-Ouriet NV Les Vignes de Bisseuil Premier Cru Extra Brut Champagne
French Sparkling
Lemon oil, crisp pear and green apple lead a bright, finely textured bouquet. White flowers and apricot add lift, while almond pastry and faint mineral smoke bring savoury depth. The palate is concentrated yet racy, its creamy texture sharpened by piercing acidity and a firm chalky line. Dry and persistent, it closes with citrus, orchard fruit and a saline finish.
