Description
Champagne Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Brut Rosé is a grand cru rosé built on Ambonnay Pinot Noir, coloured with the estate's own still red wine.
Ambonnay has a long history of red winemaking as well as Champagne, and Egly-Ouriet draws on that for its rosé: Pinot Noir dominates the blend, with a portion of Chardonnay, and the colour comes from still red wine made on the estate rather than from bought-in material. The farming is the same as for the rest of the range, with old vines, low yields and late picking, and the wine is vinified in barrel, aged long on lees and dosed very lightly. This bottling is a 2012 base disgorged in October 2018.
A rosé with enough substance for food: try it with duck, salmon or charcuterie. Serve at 8-10°C.
