Egly Ouriet Les Premices Brut Champagne, NV, 75cL, Sparkling WineBy Winebuyers

Egly Ouriet's Les Premices Brut is a champagne from the village of Ambonnay in Montagne de Reims. The Egly-Ouriet house was established in 1930 and is currently owned by Francis Egly, who took charge from the 1982 vintage. The estate is exclusively Grand Cru, with 9 hectares of Pinot Noir and around 1 hectare of Chardonnay planted on south and southeast facing slopes. Yields are kept very low and grapes are picked late in order to achieve a richer and riper style. The wine goes through extended ageing on lees up to 7 years and large parts of most wines are aged in oak barrels before the second bubble forming fermentation in bottle. This champagne is available in a 75cl size and is suitable for both men and women.
