Grand Cru Ambonnay Cuvée des Grands Côtés VV Egly-Ouriet 2011
The wine
This cuvée is produced from very old vines in very small quantities, produced and matured for around twenty months in old oak barrels used only once before. Its nose is both fruity and smoky, and the rich palate reveals beautiful, well-coated tannins.
About the Producer Egly-Ouriet
The history of Maison Egly-Ouriet began after the Second World War, with three hectares (ha) of vines in the Grand Cru Ambonnay. Subsequently, other plots were acquired, today reaching 12ha (10ha in Grands Crus and 2ha in Premier Cru), planted mainly in Pinot Noir, supplemented by Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier and originating from mass selections. All the wines are vinified in barriques and age at least four years before being marketed. They are made without malolactic fermentation to maintain a maximum of freshness. Francis Egly, a Récoltant Manipulant, runs this renowned domain that produces high quality, precise and elegant champagnes.
