Egly-Ouriet - Champagne Grand Cru - Brut - White

Wine:

Predominantly made from Pinot Noir, the Brut Grand Cru Champagne is the first wine of the House. But it is an elaborate one, the result of meticulous work, without haste, polished by time. A first maturing on lees of one year, as it used to be done in the past, a complete vinification in barrels and a bottling without filtration provide a perfect density and freshness to this aperitif champagne. A full, creamy, and harmonious wine, the most generous and classic signature of the Egly-Ouriet house.
