Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs ''V.V.''

Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs "V.V." is a powerful, terroir-driven Champagne made entirely from Pinot Noir from old vines planted in 1946. Sourced from the famed single vineyard Les Crayères in Ambonnay, it combines deep chalk minerality with remarkable concentration and a distinctly vinous character that has made it one of the most sought-after cuvées in the region.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a refined yet intense profile, with a compact, serious presence and a fine, persistent mousse. The nose opens with red berries, citrus peel, chalk, brioche, and subtle spice, while the palate is broad, structured, and almost red-wine-like in its depth, layered with ripe Pinot Noir fruit and a pronounced mineral edge. The finish is long, precise, and saline, with the low dosage allowing the vineyard character to shine through. This is a Champagne built for aging and will reward patience over the next 5 to 10 years, developing additional complexity, breadth, and nuance.

Production
This Blanc de Noirs comes from a single Grand Cru parcel in Ambonnay, Les Crayères, where the vines were planted in 1946 on a thin topsoil over a deep chalk subsoil. The extreme chalk terroir lends vivid minerality and tension, while the old vines provide naturally low yields and exceptional concentration. Harvesting is carried out carefully by hand, and the wine is vinified with a minimalist approach to preserve purity, texture, and terroir expression, finishing with a very low dosage of 1–2 g/L.

Food & Serving
Thanks to its depth, structure, and vinous weight, this Champagne pairs beautifully with richer dishes such as roasted poultry, veal, lobster with butter sauce, mushrooms, or even lighter meat preparations and game birds. Serve it slightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider a short decant if drinking young to allow the aromas and texture to open fully.
