Champagne Extra Brut Grand Cru "Millésime" 2014 - Egly-Ouriet

A true masterpiece of Champagne, the "Millésime" 2014 from Egly-Ouriet is an Extra Brut that intensely expresses the grandeur of the Grand Cru terroir. The fruit of a meticulous blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay , it comes exclusively from the prestigious vineyards of Ambonnay, Verzenay and Bouzy, cultivated with vines over 40 years old.

The winemaking follows traditional and natural methods: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and an initial refinement on the lees for about a year, followed by an extraordinarily long period of 6-8 years in the bottle, which gives it a unique structure and a rare aromatic depth. Unfiltered and unclarified, with a minimum dosage of just 1 g/l , this Extra Brut champagne is a pure expression of authenticity and artisanal rigor.

On the nose it opens with a complex and enveloping bouquet: ripe fruit, candied citrus, hazelnut and toasted hints. On the palate it is broad, with an extraordinary creaminess and a vibrant freshness, supported by an incisive minerality that accompanies towards a long and persistent finish.

Master winemaker Francis Egly focuses on low yields and perfectly ripe grapes, ensuring structured and long-lived wines, in stark contrast to commercial Champagnes. Perfect for special occasions or for those seeking an out-of-the-ordinary Champagne experience.
