Egly-Ouriet Champagne Grand Cru Brut Millésime 2015 white

Egly-Ouriet Champagne Grand Cru Brut Millésime 2015 is a powerful, terroir-driven vintage Champagne from one of the most respected grower-producers in the region. Sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards and crafted in tiny quantities, it’s a serious, gastronomic Champagne made for the table as much as for celebration. The 2015 vintage brings richness and depth, wrapped in Egly-Ouriet’s signature precision and low-dosage style.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Champagne shows a luminous, deep golden straw hue with a fine, persistent mousse that speaks to extended lees aging. The nose is complex and expressive, offering ripe orchard fruits (baked apple, pear), citrus peel, and stone fruit, layered with notes of toasted brioche, roasted hazelnuts, chalky minerality, and hints of dried flowers and subtle spice from oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with the Pinot Noir leading in breadth and texture, supported by the tension and finesse of Chardonnay. Expect flavors of yellow plum, Mirabelle, citrus cream, nougat, and toasted almonds, framed by a striking saline, chalk-driven backbone. The dosage is kept very low, so the finish is long, dry, and precise, with a mouthwatering grip and a hint of grapefruit zest. This 2015 vintage has the concentration and acidity to evolve beautifully for 10–15 years from release, gaining even more complexity and tertiary nuances with careful cellaring.

Production
The Grand Cru Brut Millésime 2015 is sourced from Egly-Ouriet’s old-vine parcels in prestigious Grand Cru villages of Champagne, notably around Ambonnay, renowned for its chalk-rich soils with a thin topsoil layer that gives intensity and minerality. The blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay is harvested by hand at full physiological ripeness, resulting in naturally low yields and impressive depth. Fermentation traditionally takes place in oak, with extended time on the lees to build texture and complexity, followed by an unusually long period of bottle aging on the lees before disgorgement. True to the estate’s philosophy, dosage is kept very low, allowing the character of the terroir and the vintage to shine unmasked.

Food & Serving
This is a vinous, gastronomic Champagne that pairs beautifully with rich cuisine: think roasted poultry with morel cream, veal sweetbreads, butter-poached lobster, seared scallops, turbot, or truffle risotto. It’s also superb with aged Comté, Parmesan, or nutty hard cheeses. Serve well-chilled but not icy, ideally around 10–12°C (50–54°F) to allow the full aromatic range to open. Decanting young vintage Egly-Ouriet for 20–30 minutes is often recommended; it helps the wine unfold its layers and emphasizes its Burgundy-like depth and structure.

Producer
Egly-Ouriet, led by Francis Egly, is one of Champagne’s benchmark grower-producers and a reference point for serious, terroir-expressive, low-dosage wines. Based in Ambonnay, the domaine works almost exclusively with Grand Cru vineyards, many planted with old vines that deliver low yields and exceptional concentration. Over the years, Egly-Ouriet has earned a cult following among sommeliers and collectors for its meticulous vineyard work, preference for ripe harvests, oak fermentation, and long lees aging—practices that give the wines a depth and vinosity more often associated with fine Burgundy. Today, Egly-Ouriet is considered one of the leading estates in the Montagne de Reims and a standard-bearer for grower Champagne worldwide.
