This Egly-Ouriet Les Premices Brut fromEgly-Ourietexemplifies the perfect marriage of traditional craftsmanship and pristine terroir. A balanced blend ofPinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, sourced from 40-year-old vines in Trigny, northwest ofReims, it undergoes 36 months of lees aging in stainless steel with a minimal 1g/L dosage – bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve authentic expression.

Tasting Profile

The nose reveals vibrant orchard fruits, white peach, fresh brioche and baking spices, accented by delicate floral and marzipan notes. The palate delivers a silky, medium-to-full-bodied texture with a crystalline core of fruit lifted by saline minerality, citrus zest and subtle herbal nuances, culminating in a long, luminous finish.

Winemaking Philosophy

As pioneers of artisanal Champagne, Egly-Ouriet employs organic viticulture and minimalist intervention. Les Premices embodies their “less is more” approach – old vines, low yields and extended lees contact create remarkable depth and tension.
