Champagne Egly-ouriet Grand cru millésime 2016 75cl

Regarding the Champagne Egly-ouriet Grand cru millésime 2016

A symbol of exacting standards and purity, Champagne Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Millésime 2016 embodies the soul of Champagne's great terroirs. Produced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards, this exceptional vintage combines the nobility of Pinot Noir (70%) with the elegance of Chardonnay (30%).

Its intense golden color promises great maturity and captivating aromatic depth. The nose reveals a rich, nuanced palette of stewed yellow fruit, toasted almond, brioche and smoky notes, delicately underscored by the chalky signature of Ambonnay's great terroirs. On the palate, the ample, enveloping texture is balanced by vibrant tension and remarkable saline minerality. The ultra-low dosage (1 g/L) magnifies the purity of the fruit and reinforces the intensity of this racy, precise Extra Brut Champagne.

Intensely generous and perfectly balanced, Egly-Ouriet's Millésime 2016 sublimates the finest tables. It goes divinely with a touch of caviar, scallop carpaccio or roasted sweetbreads. As an aperitif, it reveals all its elegance. A champagne of emotion, it can also be enjoyed on its own, for a special moment or an exceptional celebration.

Already sumptuous today, this grand cru has remarkable ageing potential, between 10 and 15 years. Cellared away from light and temperature variations, it will reveal its extraordinary aromatic nobility over time.

Francis Egly offers a masterful interpretation of this 2016 vintage, thanks to a complete vinification in wood and the deliberate absence of malolactic fermentation, thus preserving freshness, verticality and purity. The result is a vibrant, deep and intense champagne, tailor-made for lovers of terroir wines and collectors of emotions.

The Revue du Vin de France has awarded Maison Egly-Ouriet its fourth star, a rare accolade that confirms its status as an absolute benchmark and its inimitable style.
