Egly-Ouriet
Egly-Ouriet is a Grower Champagne producer.[1]
Francis Egly is the fourth generation in the family business.[2] Egly-Ouriet grand cru vineyards are located in Ambonnay, Verzenay and Bouzy; its premier cru Pinot Meunier vineyards are in Vrigny. Grand cru vineyards are planted to 70 percent Pinot Noir and 30 percent Chardonnay.[3] The domaine chooses 3-4 years of barrel aging of the wine, far longer than most Champagne producers.[3]
Awards and honors[]
Egly-Ouriet has received the highest possible rating of three-stars in La Revue du vin de France’s Le guide des meilleurs vins de France.[4] A 3-star rating was awarded to only nine Champagne estates in total, including Selosse and Krug.[4] Egly-Ouriet has been rated as one of Champagne's top five producers by Andrew Jefford in The New France.[5]
