Current Vintage: Non-vintage
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
From the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay, Egly-Ouriet is one of Champagne’s defining grower-producers, known for old vines, low yields, and a relentless focus on site expression. “Les Crayères” vielles vignes comes from a truly legendary single old-vine parcel (planted in 1946), offering one of the most concentrated and cellar-worthy expressions of Ambonnay Pinot Noir.
Sourced from these incredible old vines, the wine is fermented in barrel, and then aged 72 months on its lees before disgorgement. As always, dosage is minimal, allowing the depth of fruit and the structure of the site to come through with clarity. The extended élevage builds richness while maintaining precision and balance.
Powerful yet composed, it opens with notes of baked apple, red berries, and citrus oil, layered with brioche, toasted hazelnut, and a subtle smoky edge. The palate is broad and structured, with fine mousse, firm acidity, and a pronounced chalky backbone that carries through a long, savory finish. A natural pairing for roast poultry, truffle dishes, or aged cheeses.
