The wine
From the grand cru slopes of Ambonnay, Egly-Ouriet farms Pinot Noir with the rigour of a grower obsessed with ripeness and detail. This vintage Millésime is Champagne of unusual depth and vinosity, built from old vines and long lees ageing. The 2011 shows the house's signature richness reined in by chalk.
Deep gold in the glass, with a fine, insistent bead. The nose is layered: baked apple, toasted brioche, dried apricot and a savoury note of smoke and hazelnut. The palate is broad and vinous, full of orchard fruit and patisserie richness, yet driven by chalky mineral cut. Long, saline and complex, the finish carries grilled almond and a lingering autolytic depth.
Why we chose it
“Ambonnay grower fizz: vinous, smoky, chalk-driven Champagne that drinks like wine.”
