Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Millésime 2002 is a vintage Champagne produced by Champagne Egly-Ouriet in Ambonnay, France. The family-owned maison of Egly-Ouriet has built a reputation for crafting fine Champagnes that combine power, elegance and extraordinary terroir expression. Available in celebratory magnum format, this vintage expression is produced using fruit from Grand Cru vineyard plots in Ambonnay, offering the perfect balance of fruit, acidity, and minerality. "The 2002 Brut Grand Cru Millésime is spectacular today, soaring from the glass with a complex bouquet of smoky pear, lemon, mandarin orange and peach mingled with smoke, praline, crushed mint and hints of wet chalk. Full-bodied, layered and seamless, it`s deep and strikingly complete, with a textural attack that segues into a concentrated core framed by a vibrant spine of acidity and buttressed by chalky extract. Long and penetrating, this is one of the finest vintages Francis Egly has produced to date." Wine Advocate, 2021
