Egly Ouriet is simply one of the finest growers in all of Champagne, this is their flagship wine; 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay, all from the Grand Cru villages of Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay. Unapologetically vinous, and with amazing depth.The vines are between 35 and 40 years old. The sheer ripeness and quality of the fruit allow for a very moderate dosage of 4 grams per liter. Egly's Champagnes are legendary and with examples such as this it is not hard to see why.

"96 Points. Simply a wonderfully stylish and savoury champagne with dominant pinot characteristics. Scented with fragrant notes of flowers, berries, cherries and fresh bakery yeasts, it’s backed by meaty, nutty and creamy complexity with underlying spicy notes of cinnamon and cloves. Medium to full-bodied, it’s round and generous, with a smooth, vinous presence extending all down the palate. Very sophisticated and elegant, it’s underpinned by a refined extract that provides a restrained sense of strength and power. (Ambonnay, Champagne, $110 retail, approx., 19.0/96, drink 2010-2013)" - Jeremy Oliver, jeremyoliver.com.au. 

“I loved all the Egly-Ouriet wines, and again the basic Brut Tradition Grand Cru NV was very impressive – but then it’s no ordinary NV, being grand cru and 50 per cent reserve wines from the 97, 98 and 99 vintages, with 39 months on lees.” - Huon Hooke, Sydney Morning Herald.

"The NV Brut Tradition Grand Cru (75% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay) is made in a muscular, weighty style that reveals impressive richness and density in its fruit. The wine possesses outstanding persistence on the palate but finishes rather tight, suggesting at least a few additional months of bottle age are warranted. This is a distinctly fruit-driven, opulent style of Champagne. The Brut Tradition Grand Cru spent 36 months on its lees and was disgorged in July, 2008. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011. 91 Points. - Robert Parker Jnr, The Wine Advocate, December 2008. 

“The Brut Tradition, with its minimum dosage of 5 and 6g/l, is a wonderful expression of Pinot Noir; old gold colours; scents of warm fruits; deep, powerful, resonant flavours.” - Andrew Jefford, The New France.
