NV Brut Rosé – Grand Cru: (a 60/40 pinot and chardonnay blend). A very light tint and an extremely fine bead of effervescence. A fruity nose that mixes both berry fruits and floral notes with background hints of spice and yeast merge into finely detailed, crisp and intense flavors that are youthful and crisp. While there is enough on display to warrant trying this now, I would personally be inclined to age it for a few years first. A very attractive effort and worth a look. 90/2009+ Burghound #28

A point of difference is that Egly-Ouriet lists on their back labels the amount of time each wine was aged on lees and when it was disgorged. Egly-Ouriet is one of Robert Parker’s 13 top “5 Star” Champagne houses, along with Krug, Bollinger, Salon and other, mostly well-known names. Like Larmandier Bernier and Selosse, Egly-Ouriet has been rated as one of Champagne’s top five producers by andrew Jefford in his celebrated work, The New France, [Mitchell Beazley].

Egly-Ouriet’s Champagnes are so good that I have begun buying them to drink chez moi. Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate

What Larmandier Bernier achieves with Chardonnay, so Egly Ouriet manages for Pinot Noir: wines of riveting concentration and purity. Andrew Jefford - The New France exceptional.
