Egly Ouriet Grand Cru Millésime Magnum 2012 is a grower Champagne crafted in Ambonnay, France, featuring a blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. This magnum, containing 12.5% alcohol, benefits from nearly eight years of ageing on the lees, a process that enhances its complexity. The absence of malolactic fermentation maintains the wine`s natural acidity, effectively balancing the intensity typical of the Ambonnay fruit. Aromas of red plums, honeyed ginger, and crushed stones present a clear expression of the region`s character. Francis Egly, dedicated to traditional viticulture, emphasises minimal intervention, reflecting the unique qualities of his Grand Cru vineyards.

The 2012 Brut Millésime Grand Cru is a Champagne of tremendous finesse and nuance, with the Chardonnay really driving the balance today. Chalk, white pepper, mint, sage and dried pear are some of the notes that come alive in the glass. Readers will find a brilliant, finely cut Champagne endowed with tremendous energy, especially for the year. This is pure class. Antonio Galloni1st May 2023
