Egly-Ouriet is a family Champagne grower based in the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay. Francis Egly's wines put Pinot Noir, old vines and extended time on lees at the center of the estate's reputation.
Wines to know
The importer lists Grand Cru Extra Brut as a core bottling, with VP Grand Cru and Les Crayères Vieilles Vignes Blanc de Noirs further into the range. Les Vignes de Vrigny and Les Vignes de Bisseuil offer Premier Cru comparisons from outside the central Grand Cru blend. Egly-Ouriet also makes Ambonnay Rouge, a still red wine.
Work behind the bottles
The domaine's importer describes practicing-organic methods, reduced yields, first-press juice and substantial lees ageing; most wines spend at least 48 months on the lees. That is a useful explanation for the wines' depth, without implying a formal organic certification. The estate does not advertise a regular public tour schedule. Contact it directly before making travel plans.
