Champagne Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Millésime 2012 disg Sept 2021

Egly-Ouriet's Millésime is the house's vintage Champagne, made only in selected years from grand cru fruit around Ambonnay.

Egly-Ouriet is a grower estate at Ambonnay on the Montagne de Reims, with holdings in the grand crus of Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay and a smaller parcel of Meunier at Vrigny. The house is known for picking very ripe, working with low yields and old vines, fermenting in barrel and giving its wines far longer on lees than is usual, which is the main reason the style is broad and vinous rather than lean. The vintage cuvée is built on Pinot Noir from the estate's grand cru holdings with a Chardonnay component, and is aged for many years in bottle before hand disgorgement at a low dosage. It is released only when the house judges it ready, which is why the disgorgement date is given on the label.

Drinking now and capable of a further decade. Serve at about 8°C with roast chicken, grilled scampi or a well-aged Comté.
