2018 Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Assemblage Extra Brut 0,75 Liter

The Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Assemblage 2018 Extra Brut is a refined vintage Champagne from Ambonnay, crafted by Egly-Ouriet. Blending 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards, it displays a pale gold hue with fine bubbles and a complex nose of red apple, lemon curd, and brioche, with hints of smoky spice and chalky minerality. The palate is harmonious and rich, with vibrant acidity, a creamy mousse, and a long, mineral-driven finish. With a low dosage (1-2 g/L) and 7 years of lees aging, mostly in barrels, it reflects the powerful 2018 vintage. Perfect with duck, salmon, or aged cheeses, it’s a luxury for fine dining. Drinking beautifully now, it can age for 10+ years, developing richer notes. This Extra Brut showcases Egly-Ouriet’s artisanal, oak-driven style, offering a refined Champagne for enthusiasts seeking depth, balance, and terroir expression in a Grand Cru cuvée.
