Egly-Ouriet Brut Rosé Grand Cru NV Magnum 1.5L is a remarkable Champagne that has gained a reputation as a benchmark for grower-producers in Champagne. The Egly-Ouriet winery is based in Ambonnay, where they are renowned for their immaculate vineyard management and meticulous winemaking practices. They age much of their production in oak barrels, with extended lees aging being a significant feature.

This exceptional Champagne is crafted from 90% Ambonnay Grand Cru, 10% Bouzy Grand Cru, and Verzenay Grand Cru, with the addition of 5% still Pinot Noir from their Coteaux Champenois Rouge. Egly's rendition is fine and perfumed, showcasing magnificent Pinot fruit.

The Egly-Ouriet Brut Rosé Grand Cru NV Magnum 1.5L is presented in a magnum bottle, which is twice the size of a standard 750ml bottle. This larger size not only adds to the luxurious appeal of the Champagne but also offers some benefits to the wine itself. The larger volume of the bottle reduces the ratio of oxygen to wine, slowing down the aging process and allowing the wine to develop more complexity over time. Additionally, the larger surface area of the wine in contact with the cork allows for a slower exchange of air, helping to preserve the wine's freshness and aromas.

The Egly-Ouriet Brut Rosé Grand Cru NV Magnum 1.5L was base 17 and disgorged in July 2022, making it a recently disgorged bottle of Champagne. This means that it has spent an extended period on its lees, resulting in a creamy texture and a complex, layered flavour profile. Overall, the Egly-Ouriet Brut Rosé Grand Cru NV Magnum 1.5L is a must-try Champagne for anyone looking for a luxurious and flavorful experience.
