Founded in 1930, Egly-Ouriet has become a cult Champagne producer with a loyal fanbase around the world. The family-owned estate covers approximately 9 hectares of vineyards which are mostly Grand Cru plots in Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay. This is their Vielleisement Prolongé – meaning ‘extended ageing’ – cuvée, a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, both sourced from Grand Cru villages. The wine was cellared for a minimum of seven years before disgorgement, showing extraordinary depth and complexity.

Robert Parker
Disgorged in October 2024, after seven years sur lattes and with a dosage of one gram per liter, Egly`s latest NV Grand Cru V.P. is based on the 2016 vintage (50%) with the remainder coming from 2015 and 2014. Opening in the glass with aromas of red apple, honeysuckle and tangerine zest mingling with spices, it is medium- to full-bodied and layered yet racy and fresh, supported by the incisive profile of the base year and concluding with a long, chalky finish. While not a young wine on paper, it certainly feels youthful in the glass, combining freshness with the complexity that comes with such long aging on the lees. - Kristaps Karklins
