Egly ouriet Les Crayères Blanc De Noirs Grand Cru (dégorgement Septembre 2024) Egly Ouriet

Egly-Ouriet’s Les Crayères Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru is a benchmark grower Champagne, prized for its depth, precision, and unmistakably Pinot-driven character. With its September 2024 disgorgement, it reflects the estate’s patient, low-intervention approach and the remarkable quality of fruit from its Grand Cru holdings in Ambonnay. Historically, Egly-Ouriet has helped define the modern prestige of artisan Champagne through wines that combine power, finesse, and exceptional aging capacity.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass with a fine, persistent mousse. The aromatics are layered and complex, moving from ripe orchard fruit and citrus peel to brioche, toasted nuts, chalk, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is broad and textural yet perfectly focused, with Pinot Noir richness balanced by bright acidity and a long, mineral finish. The wine has the structure and concentration to age gracefully for many years, gaining even more nuance and depth with time in bottle.

Production
Sourced from Egly-Ouriet’s prized Grand Cru vineyards in Ambonnay, the wine draws character from chalky soils that lend tension and salinity alongside the richness of Pinot Noir. The estate is known for meticulous vineyard work, low yields, and harvesting only at optimal ripeness to preserve balance and purity. Vinification is carried out with great care to emphasize texture, complexity, and terroir expression, followed by extended maturation on the lees before disgorgement.

Food & Serving
Ideal with refined dishes such as lobster, scallops, roast chicken, truffle risotto, or aged Comté and Parmesan. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C to best show its aromatic depth and fine mousse. Decanting is generally not necessary, but allowing the wine a few minutes in the glass can help it open beautifully.

Producer
Egly-Ouriet is one of Champagne’s most respected grower producers, with a reputation built on outstanding vineyard sites, traditional craftsmanship, and a relentless focus on quality. Based in Ambonnay, the house has become especially admired for its Grand Cru Pinot Noir and richly textured, age-worthy cuvées. Its wines are widely regarded as reference points for artisanal Champagne and are collected by enthusiasts around the world.
