Champagne Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Millésime 2014 Disg Jul 23

Champagne Egly-Ouriet Millésime is a grand cru vintage Champagne from Ambonnay, aged completely in barrel and given ninety-six months on lees.

Egly-Ouriet is one of the reference growers of the Montagne de Reims, farming a small holding around Ambonnay with very low yields and unusually long ageing before release. The Millésime is made only in years the family judges suitable, and it is drawn from forty-year-old vines in the grand cru vineyards of the village. The blend is seventy per cent Pinot Noir and thirty per cent Chardonnay, and the vins clairs were vinified and matured entirely in barrel rather than tank, which is central to the layered, broad style the domaine is known for. The wine was bottled in 2015, spent eight years on its lees in the cellar, and was disgorged in July 2023 with only one gram per litre of dosage, so the fruit and the chalk carry the finish rather than any sweetness.

Ready to drink and likely to keep developing for a decade or more. Serve at 8°C, ideally in a white-wine glass, with roast chicken, lobster or a plate of aged comté.
