Champagne Millésime Grand Cru 2006 Egly-Ouriet
The 2006 Grand Cru Millésime Champagne by Egly-Ouriet is a true oenological masterpiece, born from a masterful blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. The uniqueness of this champagne lies in its exclusive vinification in wood, a process that adds complexity and distinctive character to its profile.
Natural fermentation, without the addition of yeasts, and the exclusive use of indigenous yeasts underscore the winery's commitment to traditional and artisanal practices. During the first élevage on the lees, which lasts about a year, the wine matures slowly, following the natural rhythm of the clarification process, as it was done in the past, maintaining purity and authenticity.
Visually, it presents itself with an intense and brilliant golden yellow color, anticipating a complex and engaging aromatic bouquet. Scents of flowers and yellow and white pulpy fruit, with notes of peach and pear, pave the way for successive layers of enveloping aromas. Sweet hints of vanilla emerge, underscored by suggestions of honey and green tea.
On the palate, this champagne unfolds with a magnificent combination of full body and great freshness. Each sip is an experience of harmony, with a finish that reveals a distinctive chalk note and a subtle hint of black pepper. The vibrant energy of this wine conveys a sense of vitality and authenticity, emphasizing its Grand Cru status and the artisanal talent of the Egly-Ouriet winery. An oenological masterpiece to be savored with every sip.
