About the producer
This champagne house has been family owned for 4 generations. It is considered one of the best family businesses in Champagne. His production is not large, but all the more sought-after. The Egly-Ouriet family cultivates only 10 hectares of vineyards, all in the best Grand Cru locations in the municipalities of Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay. That’s why three-quarters of the production of this champagne house comes from Pinot noir and from quite old sticks. This already indicates that the champagnes of Egly-Ouriet are not light celebration boxes, but highly complex, strong and profound champagnes of the extra class, which also have some storage potential.
