Les Prémices 2018
Egly-Ouriet | Brut | Vintage 2018
Egly-Ouriet has earned a reputation among connoisseurs as a true jewel among growers. Their philosophy? Maximum quality, biodynamic approach, and an unmistakable signature in the glass. The Les Prémices with a base from the 2018 vintage embodies exactly that.
This champagne is an assemblage of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and a touch of Chardonnay, perfectly balanced yet expressive. With 50% oak barrel aging, it gains special depth. The aromas range from white flowers and apricots to hints of honey and roasted almonds with a distinctly vinous palate – a complex, intense champagne that needs time in the glass to unfold.
I find the Les Prémices particularly exciting in glass comparison: depending on the glass shape, the experience changes dramatically. A champagne that rewards the attention you give it – and shows why Egly-Ouriet is in a class of its own among grower champagnes.
Tasting Notes
A complex, intense champagne with aromas of white flowers, apricots, honey and roasted almonds. The 50% oak barrel aging gives it special depth and a vinous palate that needs time in the glass.
