Champagne Extra Brut Grand Cru 2015 | Wine from Domaine Egly-Ouriet

The Domaine Egly-Ouriet, located in Ambonnay, is an iconic family estate in the Champagne vineyard. Under the direction of Francis Egly, this estate is known for its philosophy focused on respecting the vine and the soil. It stands out for its unique approach: no malolactic fermentation, long aging in ultra-cool cellars, and vinifications in oak barrels. This exceptional expertise gives its cuvées unmatched depth and complexity.

From the terroirs of Grands Crus (Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzenay) and cultivated on exceptional chalky soils, the Champagne Extra Brut Grand Cru 2015 is a pure and vibrant cuvée. Its fermentation in oak barrels, combined with 6 years of aging, gives it a precise structure and a fascinating aromatic richness.

The bright golden robe foretells a Champagne of beautiful maturity. The intense nose reveals aromas of dried fruits, brioche, honey, and truffle. On the palate, the attack is lively and ample, offering a beautiful mineral tension and a complex aromatic palette with notes of hazelnut, candied citrus, and toasted bread. The finish is long, marked by a great purity and remarkable aromatic persistence.

This Grand Cru Extra Brut Champagne reveals all its finesse when paired with refined dishes:

Lobster and sushi, for a subtle harmony between the champagne's minerality and the delicacy of marine flavors. Truffles and aged cheeses like mimolette and munster, offering a refined contrast between aromatic intensity and effervescence. Exceptional desserts such as bugnes, fritters, king cake, or a saffron panna cotta accompanied by cinnamon biscuits, for a festive and elegant touch.

This Champagne of great nobility can be enjoyed starting in 2024, but its aging potential allows it to be kept until 2035 for optimal aromatic complexity. Recommended serving temperature: 10-12°C.
