Egly-Ouriet Coteaux Champenois Ambonnay Rouge Cuvée Des Grands Côtes 2018

Egly-Ouriet Coteaux Champenois Ambonnay Rouge Cuvée Des Grands Côtes 2018 is a rare still red wine from one of Champagne’s most celebrated Grand Cru villages, made entirely from old-vine Pinot Noir. It reflects the estate’s deep mastery of both Champagne and traditional red winemaking, offering a distinctive glimpse into the region’s quieter, more artisanal side.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows an intense ruby-red color with impressive depth and clarity. The nose is layered and expressive, unfolding with ripe cherry, blackcurrant, spice, subtle toasted notes, and a fine mineral edge. The palate is rich yet refined, with concentrated dark berry fruit balanced by fine tannins and a well-integrated acidity that keeps everything poised and elegant. The finish is long and sophisticated, leaving hints of earth, spice, and the chalky character of its terroir. This is a wine with excellent aging potential and should continue to evolve beautifully over the coming years.

Production
This wine comes from old Pinot Noir vines in Ambonnay, a Grand Cru village known for its chalk-rich soils and outstanding terroir. The grapes are traditionally harvested and vinified, then matured in oak barrels, which adds complexity and texture while preserving the purity of the fruit and the wine’s natural structure.

Food & Serving
A natural match for poultry, lamb, game, and mature cheeses, this wine is best served slightly below room temperature, around 15-17°C. Decanting is recommended, especially if opened young, to allow its aromas and structure to fully open up.
