Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
From three Grand Cru sites (90% Ambonnay, 10% Bouzy and 10% Verzenay,) this stellar wine is comprised of 70% pinot noir and 30% chardonnay, mostly 2013 vintage, with 2012 and 2011 rounding things out. The wine is barrel fermented and aged, spending 7 years sur lie. A tremendous effort that will bring you to your knees with its richness, intensity and depth.
About the Producer
Domaine Egly-Ouriet Champagne is sensual and unforgettable, a necessary experience for those who crave the power and finesse of Pinot Noir-based wines. What you?ll find at this family grower house is truly
vinous Champagne, wines striking in their concentration and complexity. Winemaker Francis Egly's practice of harvesting very ripe grapes and aging his wines in barrel for years are some of the technical decisions that set his art apart from the rest; yet it is the results that captivate. EglyOuriet Champagne is age-worthy, sumptuous and at times surreal; these wines are unquestionably the pinnacle of Pinot Noir-based Champagne. Proudly, North Berkeley Imports was one of the first importers to bring Egly-Ouriet wines to the United States.
