Egly Ouriet Ambonnay Rouge Egly Ouriet, 2023

Egly-Ouriet Ambonnay Rouge is a rare still red wine from Champagne’s esteemed Coteaux Champenois, offering a distinctly elegant expression of Pinot Noir from the village of Ambonnay. Produced by one of the region’s most respected grower-producers, it captures both the finesse of Champagne terroir and the depth associated with red Burgundy-style winemaking.

Tasting Notes
The wine typically shows a bright ruby colour with a polished, translucent edge. On the nose, expect lifted aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, cranberry, and subtle floral notes, supported by hints of spice, earth, and fine oak complexity. On the palate, it is usually graceful and precise rather than weighty, with fresh acidity, silky tannins, and a clean, mineral-driven finish. While enjoyable young for its vibrancy, it can also develop added savoury nuance over several years of cellaring.

Production
Sourced from the village of Ambonnay in the Montagne de Reims, this wine reflects the chalk-rich soils and cool continental climate that help preserve freshness and structure. Egly-Ouriet is known for meticulous vineyard work, low yields, and careful harvesting to ensure optimum ripeness. Vinification for Coteaux Champenois reds is typically focused on preserving purity and site expression, often with gentle extraction and ageing in oak to add texture without overpowering the fruit. The result is a refined still wine that highlights the character of Pinot Noir outside the sparkling style for which Champagne is best known.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly cool, ideally around 14–16°C, to best showcase its freshness and detail. Decanting is usually optional, but a brief aeration can help open the wine’s aromatic layers if enjoyed young. Pair it with duck breast, roast quail, mushroom dishes, salmon, or lighter game preparations. It also works beautifully with earthy vegetarian plates, such as beetroot tart or wild mushroom risotto.

Producer
Egly-Ouriet is a highly regarded grower-producer based in Ambonnay, widely admired for crafting wines of depth, precision, and exceptional vineyard character. The estate has built its reputation on old vines, sustainable vineyard practices, and a hands-on approach in both still and sparkling wine production. Within Champagne, the producer is considered one of the benchmark names for terroir-driven wines, particularly for Pinot Noir from Ambonnay. Its commitment to low intervention and long ageing has earned it a strong following among collectors and sommeliers alike.
