Egly-Ouriet, "Brut Tradition" Champagne, Grand Cru

Don't miss these unforgettable bubbles!

Egly-Ouriet's Brut Tradition Grand Cru Champagne is a cult-like wine for Champagne lovers. It is more art than Champagne and one of the finest Grand Cru Champagnes being made today.

This beauty is a "grower Champagne," meaning Egly-Ouriet owns and grows their own grapes and hand-crafts their Champagnes at the estate. They do not have long-term contracts to buy fruit from anyone else like many of the more commercial brands.

Aromas of fresh pear, light pepper, and young berry intermingle with flavors of pastry dough, slivered almonds, lemon zest, citrus, baked apples and spice, all of which are all wrapped in a creamy texture. With amazing depth, this Champagne offers "lacy mousse and flavors of toast, crushed black currant" with "a clean-cut, chalk tinged finish." Wine Spectator

Though ideal for cork popping and celebrating, you don't need New Year's or a holiday to enjoy Egly-Ouriet. Rather, like a fine white Burgundy, these bubbles are ideal for food pairing too!

"Make no mistake about it…these wines are at the very top of the pecking order in Champagne today.” Antonio Galloni
