How to serve it
Tasting notes
Golden colour with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is elegant, with lemon oil, white flowers, almond and green apple. The palate is well balanced, combining bright fruit acidity with a creamy texture, and ends on a harmonious, lingering finish.
About this wine
Egly-Ouriet farms about 12 hectares, mostly Pinot Noir and mostly in Ambonnay, on clay-limestone soils with south-east exposure, with vines averaging 40 years of age and organic and biodynamic practices. The house is known as the first small independent grower to receive 100 points from Robert Parker.
The 2011 Grand Cru Millésime blends 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. The hand-harvested grapes ferment with native yeasts in oak barrels; after the second fermentation in bottle by the traditional method, the wine rests for more than nine years on its fine lees and is bottled unfiltered.
A rare vintage Champagne of great depth, with an ageing potential of ten to fifteen years.
