Egly-Ouriet

Egly-Ouriet

Champagne Egly-Ouriet is located in Ambonnay, a Grand Cru village in the Montagne de Reims. The maison is led by Francis Egly and is known for its biodynamic approach and a signature style that demands patience in the glass.

Vignoble & Soil

The maison cultivates vineyard plots in Ambonnay. Additional parcels outside the Grand Cru village are documented, but not captured in detail.

Viticulture & Sustainability

Egly-Ouriet works with a biodynamic approach and focuses on maximum quality. Official certification is not documented, but the approach to vineyard work is clear: as natural as possible, as precise as necessary.

Vinification

The maison's philosophy revolves around champagnes that need time to open up. Vinous, complex, never loud. Les Prémices is 50% aged in oak barrels – a building block of the texture and depth that distinguishes Egly-Ouriet.

The Cuvées in Detail

Les Prémices — Brut (Base 2018)

Assemblage of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and a touch of Chardonnay, 50% aged in oak barrels. White flowers, apricots, honey and toasted almonds on the nose, vinous and complex on the palate – needs air and time to reveal its structure.
