NV Tradition Brut Grand Cru, Egly Ouriet- Montagne de Reims

The NV Tradition Brut Grand Cru from Egly-Ouriet is a true showcase of the power and precision that defines the Montagne de Reims. This Grand Cru estate, founded in 1930, has earned a stellar reputation for producing some of Champagne's finest wines. Egly-Ouriet is renowned for its commitment to low yields, organic practices, and extended ageing, all of which contribute to wines with exceptional depth and character. Their vineyards are mainly planted with Pinot Noir, which thrives in the rich, chalky soils of the Montagne de Reims.

The NV Tradition Brut Grand Cru is a blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, aged for over 36 months on lees. It boasts an enticing bouquet of ripe orchard fruit, brioche, and a hint of toasted almond. The palate is rich and complex, with a well-balanced structure, bright acidity, and layers of fruit, from crisp apple to ripe pear, with a minerally finish.

This Champagne pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes, from lobster and crab to roasted chicken or a charcuterie platter. The richness of the wine also makes it a perfect match for creamy cheeses like Gruyère or Comté. With its elegance and power, it's the ideal choice for those seeking a Champagne with both finesse and depth.
