This Champagne is bursting with aromas of peach, red berries and orange peel, interspersed with nuances of praline and fresh bread. On the palate it is long, succulent and enveloping, presenting an abundant core of fruit that is framed by vibrant acidity and complemented by a light, foamy mousse.
Egly-Ouriet Rose Grand Cru Extra Brut is a refined sparkling Champagne made with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes in the AOC Champagne region of France. Located on 11.7 hectares spread between Ambonnay and the Montagne de Reims, including the prestigious Bouzy region, Egly-Ouriet is recognized as one of the leaders in Champagne production.
Under Francis Egly, who has been at the helm for over 30 years, the winery has continued to evolve and refine its methods. Recent innovations include refrigerated press tanks that instantly cool the must during increasingly warm vintages, a peristaltic pump for more gentle treatment of the wine, and a significant expansion of the facilities to allow for more detailed winemaking. The passion for viticulture and winemaking is clearly reflected in the winery, which since the 1980s has amassed around 700,000 bottles of reserve wines and sur latte aged wines, representing seven times its annual production.
The grapes, harvested at their optimum state of ripeness, are fermented mainly in barrels, with 10% to 15% being renewed annually, all coming from the cooperage of his friend, Dominique Laurent. Fermentation takes place naturally without the addition of yeasts, and the bottling process is carried out without filtration or necking.
For those wishing to purchase wine that embodies Champagne tradition and innovation, Egly-Ouriet Rose Grand Cru offers a sublime experience that encapsulates decades of craftsmanship and dedication.
