Egly-Ouriet Millésime Brut Champagne Grand Cru 'Ambonnay' 2008 Magnum

Egly-Ouriet Millésime Brut Grand Cru “Ambonnay” 2008 is an exceptional vintage Champagne from one of Ambonnay’s most distinguished grower-producers. Presented in an impressive magnum, it combines the power and depth of predominantly Pinot Noir with the freshness of Chardonnay, while the celebrated 2008 vintage brings remarkable balance, precision and longevity.

Tasting Notes
The Champagne displays a luminous golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse. Its aromatic profile is rich and layered, revealing ripe apple, pear and citrus alongside brioche, toasted almonds and subtle savoury nuances developed during extended lees ageing. On the palate, it is powerful yet finely poised, with generous fruit, vibrant acidity and the chalky mineral character associated with Ambonnay. Toasted notes add complexity without overshadowing the wine’s freshness, leading to a long, elegant and refreshing finish. The 2008 vintage is drinking beautifully now but has the structure to develop further in bottle, particularly in magnum format.

Production
Sourced from the Grand Cru terroir of Ambonnay in Champagne, this cuvée reflects the village’s reputation for producing richly textured and age-worthy Pinot Noir. The blend is dominated by Pinot Noir with a smaller proportion of Chardonnay, and the wine has been matured on its lees for several years, building depth, creaminess and toasty complexity while preserving the freshness of the vintage.

Food & Serving
A superb match for refined dishes such as roast poultry, lobster, crab, scallops and delicate fish with creamy or lightly toasted accompaniments. Its structure also makes it a natural partner for mature cheeses. Serve well chilled, ideally around 10–12°C. Decanting is not essential, but a brief, gentle decant or serving in larger Champagne glasses can help reveal the wine’s layered aromas and mature character.
