Description
 
his firm was established in 1930 and nowadays Michel Egly owns 7,7 hectares at Ambonnay, a third of a hectare at Bouzy and one and a half a hectare at Verzenay as well as 2 hectares Meunier in Vrigny. The average age of the vines is 35 years, with 60 years for the prestige wines. The wines are phenomenally great and rich. The grower is very close to gaining five stars through his fantastic development in recent years. Probably the foremost grower of Pinot Noir in the entire Champagne region nowadays. His much sought-after Blanc de Noirs Vielles Vignes comes from grapes from Pinot vines grown in 1946. They give this wine extra weight and density. The fruitiness is massive and soft, and the potential for maturation is enormous. He succeeds better and better for each issue. Nowadays this is a Selosse-like, exotic, oaky and biodynamically influenced giant among champagnes. The taste layers are fantastically generous and many-headed.

The latest release of the NV Brut Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Les Crayères is stunning, wafting from the glass with pure and expressive aromas of ripe apples, fresh peach, toasted sesame and fresh pastry. On the palate, it's full-bodied, fleshy and powerful, with a beautifully refined—even delicate—mousse, a deep but open-knit core, brisk acids and a long, expansive and mouthwateringly lively finish. Despite its broad shoulders, this is a supple, expressive and charming rendition of Les Crayères that exemplifies how the greatest wines attain concentration without weight. Egly-Ouriet crafts some of my very favorite Champagnes, and this bottle reminded me to buy more. It's a blend of the 2010 and 2011 vintages and was disgorged in July 2018 after 72 months sur lattes.
