Champagne Egly-Ouriet - Champagne - Les Pémices - Magnum - Blanc

Wine:

The Les Prémices Brut Blanc Champagne is a delightful treat, an easily enjoyable cuvée crafted without any hint of oak. Sourced from the vineyards in the Saint-Thierry massif, and more precisely from the village of Trigny, it proudly maintains the trademark style of the house - meticulous in blend and prolonged maturation. Its aroma is exquisitely clean and refined, with charming hints of marzipan and orgeat. The taste is vibrant and thirst-quenching, flowing smoothly into a well-handled, harmonious, and stimulating vinous structure. This Champagne is an outstanding choice for aperitifs, and in a Magnum bottle, it becomes even more sociable and enjoyable!

Egly-Ouriet, a paragon of Champagne excellence and awarded 3 stars by the RVF Guide, has carved out a name commensurate with its high standards. Spanning nearly 17 hectares, with ten classified as Grand Cru (in Ambonnay, Bouzy, and Verzenay), Francis Egly continues his remarkable work, which very few houses can match, now with the support of his son Charles and daughter Clémence. The balance and finesse of his wines are unmatched and represent an exceptional classicism.

From the very first cuvée in the range, one is captivated by this honest style, which balances strength and restraint while skillfully handling pinot noir. These are robust champagnes, underscored by very old vines, wines vinified in barrels and matured extensively in the cellar to refine and blossom at just the right moment. Purity, nobility, and definition are impressively regular features.
