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.
