Grand Cru Brut

Produced in the Champagne region of France, Egly-Ouriet is a renowned grower Champagne house located in Ambonnay, a village classified as Grand Cru. The terroir is characterized by chalky soils ideal for producing high-quality sparkling wines.

The NV Grand Cru Brut is typically composed of a blend of traditional Champagne grape varieties:

• Pinot Noir
• Chardonnay
• Pinot Meunier

Egly-Ouriet employs meticulous traditional Champagne production methods:

• Hand-harvesting of grapes from Grand Cru vineyards
• Primary fermentation in stainless steel or oak barrels depending on the cuvée
• Assemblage of base wines from different vintages to create the non-vintage blend
• Secondary fermentation in bottle (méthode traditionnelle) to develop bubbles
• Extended aging on lees to enhance complexity and texture
• Disgorgement and dosage to achieve the Brut style

The NV Grand Cru Brut from Egly-Ouriet offers a refined and elegant sensory profile:

• Appearance: Pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles
• Nose: Aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits, brioche, and subtle minerality
• Palate: Crisp acidity balanced with creamy texture, flavors of green apple, lemon zest, toasted almonds, and a hint of honey
• Finish: Long and refreshing with a delicate saline note

This Champagne pairs exceptionally well with a variety of dishes, enhancing both simple and refined meals:

• Fresh oysters and shellfish
• Light seafood dishes such as ceviche or grilled scallops
• Soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert
• White meats such as roasted chicken or turkey
• Elegant appetizers including smoked salmon or caviar
