Egly Ouriet Grand Cru Millésime Magnum 2012 is a grower Champagne crafted in Ambonnay, France, featuring a blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. This magnum, containing 12.5% alcohol, benefits from nearly eight years of ageing on the lees, a process that enhances its complexity. The absence of malolactic fermentation maintains the wine`s natural acidity, effectively balancing the intensity typical of the Ambonnay fruit. Aromas of red plums, honeyed ginger, and crushed stones present a clear expression of the region`s character. Francis Egly, dedicated to traditional viticulture, emphasises minimal intervention, reflecting the unique qualities of his Grand Cru vineyards.
