Description
“Egly Ouriet is one of the reference point growers in Champagne, with a deep selection of wines that offer remarkable transparency to site, vintage and variety … These are among the most pure, unmanipulated Champagnes readers will come across, and the estate’s new releases are all highly recommended.” Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate.
This is 70 per cent Pinot Noir, 30 per cent Chardonnay from 40 year old vines in Ambonnay, aged completely in barrel, no malo and virtually no dosage. Francois notes that his ’04 is “A beautiful vintage with great complexity and lots of fruit.” Super intense, super pure, long and youthful. This is simply a great, great Champagne from a great vintage. A grand cru wine of profound depth and intensity that will age and age made by one of the top grower champagne producers.
93 points, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate “.. an intense and precise aroma of slightly toasted whole-grain bread, brownish apples, apple strudel, oranges, dried fruits, raisins, brioche, and hints of mocha and nougat. This full-bodied yet lovely, really pure and dry wine is very elegant, quite expressive on the palate, and finishes with a refreshing lime aroma and citric acidity. This is a classic for fans of complex Champagnes of great purity and finesse.”
Fabulous vintage.. Treat yourself!
