Egly-Ouriet is a prestigious family-owned Champagne house based in Ambonnay, a Grand Cru village in the Montagne de Reims region of Champagne, France. Led by Francis Egly, the estate is widely regarded as one of the most respected producers of terroir-driven grower Champagne.
The vineyards are primarily located in Grand Cru sites including Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay. The plantings are dominated by Pinot Noir, complemented by Chardonnay and small amounts of Pinot Meunier. The chalk-rich soils and cool climate of Champagne contribute to grapes with vibrant acidity and precise aromatics. Egly-Ouriet is known for low yields, fully ripened fruit and extended ageing on the lees.
The Champagnes often spend significantly longer ageing in bottle before release, resulting in remarkable complexity and structure. The style combines power and depth with elegance and minerality, revealing aromas of ripe apple, citrus, brioche and toasted nuts. Because of their quality and authenticity, Egly-Ouriet Champagnes are highly sought after by collectors and Champagne enthusiasts worldwide.
