Description
What kind of wine is it
Egly Ouriet Coteaux Champenois Ambonnay Rouge Cuvée des Grands Côtes, crafted by Egly-Ouriet, is a still red that expresses the most authentic soul of the Coteaux Champenois area. Made from Pinot Noir grapes, it stands out for its vibrant ruby red colour. On the nose, it releases intense aromas of red fruits, leading to a complex, deep and mineral palate. Recommended after a brief decanting, it pairs perfectly with white meats, pork and mature cheeses.
Where does it come from
This wine originates in the beating heart of Ambonnay, a renowned Grand Cru of Champagne, extending to the prized plots of Bouzy, Verzenay and Vrigny. The superior quality of the fruit comes from old vines over forty years old, cultivated on chalky soils. These soils reflect sunlight during the day and release warmth at night, ensuring optimal drainage and balanced ripening. Such geological features give the wine a distinct mineral character and an extremely elegant flavour profile.
How is it produced
The production philosophy is based on organic and sustainable viticulture, aimed at protecting the integrity of the land. To preserve its natural profile, the wine is not subjected to fining or filtration. The extremely limited production is managed with meticulous care to respect the purity of the raw material. This artisanal dedication results in extraordinary flavour complexity and a remarkable ability to evolve for over twenty years, allowing the wine to mature gracefully over time.
