Egly-Ouriet
Egly-Ouriet is a Grower Champagne producer.[1]
Francis Egly is the fourth generation in the family business.[2] Egly-Ouriet grand cru vineyards are located in Ambonnay, Verzenay and Bouzy; its premier cru Pinot Meunier vineyards are in Vrigny. Grand cru vineyards are planted to 70 percent Pinot Noir and 30 percent Chardonnay.[3] The domaine chooses 3-4 years of barrel aging of the wine, far longer than most Champagne producers.[3]
By 2023, Grower Champagne was among the top Grower Champagne producers to gain significant champagne market share.[4] It was described by Eater as "the wine-geekiest grower Champagne of all".[5] In 2024, it started distribution in Singapore Airlines' business class.[6]
