Led by the talented visionary Francis Egly, Egly-Ouriet enjoys the highest possible reputation among Champagne’s récoltants-manipulants, those winemakers who make and sell their champagnes from their own vineyards.

Le Revue du Vin de France’s Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France accords the domain a rare three-star rating, adding that “there is consistency through their whole range without any weakness whatsoever.”

Their vineyard holdings consist of eight hectares planted primarily with pinot noir on the grand cru parcels of Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay, as well as two hectares of pinot meunier on the terroir of Vrigny in the Vallée de la Marne. They vinify in barriques, without malolactic fermentation in order to preserve maximum freshness. Exceptionally, their non-vintage bruts are aged on the lees for at least four years before being degorged. The champagnes millésimés are aged for six years. Egly-Ouriet champagnes have a monumental vinosity supported by great structure and a distinctive, chalky mineral finish.

The Vines Vrigny cuvée is sold as a private import. Five wines are distributed by SAQ: Brut Tradition, Champagne Grand Cru Millésimé, the Extra-Brut VP (which undergoes prolonged aging), Blanc de Noirs Vieilles Vignes and Rosé.
