Description
An exceptional, extended-aged champagne by Egly-Ouriet
The estate
A benchmark name in Champagne, Francis Egly carries on the pursuit of excellence of this family estate founded after the Second World War.
Covering just over 15 hectares, the Egly-Ouriet vineyard, located on Grands Crus (Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay) and one Premier Cru (Vrigny), is planted with vines averaging 40 to 60 years of age.
Made primarily from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, Egly-Ouriet champagnes are the result of rigorous massal selection and meticulous care in both the vineyard and the winery, and express the great terroirs of Champagne to perfection, with rare elegance and precision.
Winemaking and ageing
Egly-Ouriet's Grand Cru VP Extra Brut is vinified exclusively in barrels.
Bottled in 2013 and aged in the estate's cellars for more than seven years, this low-dosage champagne (2 g/l) harmoniously combines power and elegance.
Blend
Egly-Ouriet's Grand Cru VP Extra Brut is a blend of equal proportions of wines from the 2011 and 2012 vintages. The blend is made up of Pinot Noir (70%) and Chardonnay (30%).
