Francis Egly’s grandfather married Madame Ouriet with just 3 hectares of land to start from the Grand Cru area of Ambonnay. After taking over from his father, Francis Egly immediately converted the domaine to 100% estate bottling. In the process, he became one of the original pioneers of the grower Champagne movement, growing his name to be one of the top Champagne producers. He organically farms Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, both being 50 years old on average. Francis implements varied barrel aging from 1 to 5 years of age, letting every terroir express itself. Wine writer Peter Liem states, “If there are any Champagnes that fit the often-used description of ‘Burgundy with bubbles,’ Egly-Ouriet would be the leading candidate.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis rare, still red wine is made from Pinot Noir vines over 60 years old in the lieu-dit “Les Grands Côtes” in Ambonnay. Production is extremely limited and varies by vintage. The wine is fermented and aged in barrel with minimal intervention. As a Grand Cru Coteaux Champenois, it exemplifies the potential of Pinot Noir in Champagne’s still wine category — a benchmark among collectors. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skurnik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45212613935127,"sku":null,"price":405.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9076\/4311\/files\/Egly_Ouriet_Coteaux_Champenois_Ambonnay_Rouge_2022.jpg?v=1751484941","url":"https:\/\/hartandcru.com\/products\/egly-ouriet-ambonnay-rouge-cuvee-des-grands-cotes-vv-gc-coteaux-champenois-2023","provider":"HART \u0026 CRU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
