Egly-Ouriet Millésime Brut Champagne Grand Cru 'Ambonnay' 2012

Egly-Ouriet Millésime Brut Champagne Grand Cru 'Ambonnay' 2012 is a superb vintage Champagne that showcases the house’s hallmark style: rich, layered, and deeply expressive, yet always refined. Sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in Ambonnay, a village celebrated for some of the finest Pinot Noir in Champagne, it reflects both exceptional terroir and the craftsmanship that has made Egly-Ouriet a benchmark producer.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a beautiful golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is generous and inviting, offering ripe apple and pear, brioche, and a subtle hint of toasted almond, all lifted by a discreet mineral edge. The palate is full-bodied and creamy, with a precise structure and impressive depth. Ripe fruit is balanced by fresh acidity and a elegant, almost buttery texture, leading to a long, poised finish. This is a Champagne with excellent aging potential and will continue to gain complexity over time.

Production
This cuvée comes from Grand Cru vineyards in Ambonnay, where chalky soils and a warm exposure help Pinot Noir achieve remarkable ripeness and concentration. The blend is led by Pinot Noir with a smaller proportion of Chardonnay, and the wine spends several years on lees, building texture, nuance, and aromatic depth before release.

Food & Serving
A versatile food Champagne, it pairs beautifully with seafood, fine fish dishes, poultry, and mature cheeses. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and consider a short decant if desired to allow the wine to open further and reveal its full aromatic complexity.

Producer

Based in Ambonnay, the house has earned a strong reputation for Grand Cru bottlings that consistently rank among the region’s most admired wines, especially for their complexity, structure, and aging potential.
