Egly-Ouriet Brut Tradition Champagne Grand Cru Ambonnay is a distinguished grower Champagne that exemplifies the house's commitment to quality and terroir expression. Produced from 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, the grapes are sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in Ambonnay, Bouzy, and Verzenay, with vines averaging 40 years of age.
The wine undergoes fermentation with indigenous yeasts in older French oak barrels and is aged on the lees for approximately 48 months, contributing to its complexity and depth. On the nose, it presents aromas of fresh pears, light pepper, red fruit, and subtle notes of toasted brioche.
The palate is medium to full-bodied, offering flavors of mixed red fruits, lemon zest, and a creamy texture, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish.
