Egly-Ouriet is a 13-acre estate in Ambonnay, in Champagne. It is owned and operated by Francis Egly and it is considered a “grower Champagne,” meaning it is made in limited quantities by the family that owns the vineyards. The estate grows 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay. They also own a plot of Pinot Meunier. Egly-Ouriet is something of a cult Champagne among collectors. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written “the Brut Tradition, Vignes de Vrigny (from Meunier), Blanc de Noirs Vignes (with the depth of the finest Burgundy), and vintage cuvee are consistently striking, but all of this grower’s bottlings can be heartily recommended.”
