Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne Les Prémices Extra Brut by Egly-Ouriet is the result of a meticulous blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir grapes. Crafted according to the strict standards of the Traditional Method, it reveals itself in the glass with a brilliant straw yellow hue and a fine perlage. On the nose, it expresses elegant floral notes combined with hints of pastry, while on the palate it impresses with its fresh and mineral sip, offering a vertical and precise drinking experience from the very first taste.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the Champagne region from old vines cultivated across the eleven and a half hectares of the estate. The vineyards, located between the communes of Ambonnay and Trigny, are managed according to the principles of organic and sustainable viticulture. The strength of this cuvée lies in the characteristic chalky soils, which regulate hydration and reflect solar heat, giving the glass that typical gustatory tension that faithfully reflects the authenticity of its terroir of origin.
How it is produced
The creation process enhances the integrity of the fruit through fermentations carried out exclusively by indigenous yeasts. In line with the Traditional Method, the wine matures on the lees in the cellar for a period of 36 months, achieving an extraordinary harmony between structure and aromatic complexity. The disgorgement and restrained dosage define a rigorous Extra Brut style, which confirms the excellent longevity widely recognised in Egly-Ouriet's production.
