Brut Tradition Egly-Ouriet
The wine
Brut Tradition is produced from grand cru vines in the Montagne de Reims, mainly Ambonnay and Bouzy. Half the harvest is vinified in barrels (aged from 1 to 5 wines), before 36 months of cellar ageing. It is a low-dosage champagne – vinous and racy, very pure and full of flavour – giving a good idea of the maison's style. It is perfect for drinking as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to dishes with iodine flavours.
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.
