The winemaker

A family-owned champagne house


The company was created in the mid-20th century by Francis Egly's grandfather. It originally consisted of only three hectares, but these were high quality parcels, located in the Ambonnay Grand Cru.

His son Michel, and then his grandson Francis were to expand the estate by acquiring new and very promising land, such as the Crayères parcel, planted with vines over 60 years old.

The winery


The vineyard is predominantly Pinot Noir, with only one-third divided between Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier with vines averaging 40 years old. The clay-limestone soils benefit from a south-south-east exposure, ideal for the vine and the whole estate is run according to sustainable agriculture principles.

For more than 20 years, Egly-Ouriet champagnes have been vinified in wood and are made without malolactic fermentation.

While the trend is to sell champagnes young, Francis Egly makes a different choice, convinced that they will gain in quality. He therefore lets his champagnes age for a few years before marketing them. The brut wines are kept for four years before being sold and the vintage wines for more than six years. The production is deliberately limited with an annual volume around 100,000 bottles.

Exceptional champagne vintages


Brut 1er Cru Les Premices is a cuvée created in 2020, made from a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier Chardonnay. It is an elegant and fresh champagne, with a mineral nose with floral notes, ideal with scallops.

Brut 1er Cru les Vignes de Vrigny is a cuvée made only from old Pinot Meunier vines. This exceptional champagne is delicate and pure. It has been awarded by the Parker guide.

Brut Grand Cru Rosé is a remarkable cuvée as well, made from a blend made with two-thirds Pinot Noir and one-third Chardonnay. It is an elegant, round champagne with great finesse and aromas of red fruits with hints of flowers. It will be ideal to accompany greedy desserts with fruits, coconut, vanilla or citrus fruits. It has received multiple awards and is rated 18.5/20 by the Bettane guide.

Grand Cru les Crayères Blanc de Noirs Vieilles Vignes is made from 75-year-old vines in an exceptional terroir. This elegant and complex grand champagne offers an intense aromatic bouquet of fresh apples, white fruits with notes of flowers and toasted sesame.
