Champagne
The traditional champagne mantra is that blending is all important, however we are starting to see increased promotion of single village and lieux dits wines as well as more varietal champagnes.
Explore our other Champagnes: the Blanc de Noirs made from Pinot & Meunier, Blanc de Blancs made from 100% Chardonnay, Rosé wines, and 100% Meuniers!

Of the Champagne Marguet villages level bottlings, the Ambonnay, is made from the domaine’s own vineyards. Consequently, this is always one of the finest of this level from Benoît.The 2018 vintage of Benoît Marguet’s villages level bottling of Ambonnay is composed from a blend of sixty-three percent pinot noir and thirty-seven percent chardonnay. It was disgorged in February of 2023 after three and a half years aging sur latte. The wine is still young, but already very easy to drin
Blend from Avize, Côte des Blancs
Disgorged June 2023. Complantée comes from a single parcel in Avize that Agrapart co-planted (complantée) with six varieties: Pinot Noir, Meunier, Chardonnay and the heirloom Champagne varieties of Arbane, Petit Meslier and Pinot Blanc. Chardonnay accounts for one-quarter of the blend, with the remainder split equally between the other five varieties. The vines are all in the Fosse vineyard, the same site that gives us the great Vénus cuvée (the name of the specific vineyard parcel w
Blend from Avenay-Val-d'Or, Vallée de la Marne
The perfect introduction to Pouillon's wines, yet, far from an entry level. The gives you a peak into just how much personality and vitality his wines have. Balancing a hint of oxidative character with delicious fruit with great length and depth. The Reserve Brut represents a little splash of fruit across most of Pouillon's holdings. The blend of Pinot, Meunier and Chardonnay is expertly integrated. Fabrice truly gets élévage. This is an incredibly complex, layered and beautiful Champagne. Suc
Blend from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Vallée de la Marne
Notes on the 2012:This is superb. So fine and delicious. Such harmony is not common, the Pinot and Chardonnay are playing together beautifully. It has just the right level of oxidative vinosity, so well supported by a core of fruit that has great length and depth. I keep coming back the the harmony, layers of complexity and balance. Will the Pinot seems to be the dominant, as would be expected in the front and mid-palate, the line and length from the Chardonnay and the mineral nature to this
Blend from Ambonnay, Montagne de Reims
Fruit from 'Les Crayères' makes its way into some of Champagnes very best wines. It's the source of Egly-Ouriets Blanc de Noir! A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir this year, Marguet's 2015 Ambonnay Grand Cru Les Crayères is showing especially well, mingling aromas of pear and waxy citrus rind with notions of vanilla pod and toasted almonds. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's chiseled and penetrating, with a pearly mousse and a saline, mineral finish. Only two lieux-dits were produc

Egly easily sits in my list of top 5 Champagne Houses The top end of the Champgne spectrum is often perceived (due to a lot of marketing) to be the Super Cuvées like Dom Perignon and Krug. Don’t get me wrong these are great wines. The thing is when you get the chance and taste the top wines from Grower Champagne houses like Egly-Ouriet you find yourself taking things to an all new level. Their vineyards are immaculate, the fruit comes in with so much intensity you could happily drink the fini
Blend from Ambonnay, Montagne de Reims
V.P. = Viellissement Prolongé = Prolonged ageing on lees! The V.P. stands for Vieillissement Prolongé (prolonged ageing), as the wine spends so long on lees, in this case 84 months. A blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, the fruit comes from Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay--all great Grand Cru terroirs. Vinification and élevage is in oak casks, with the dosage being a tiny 2g/l, so seriously Extra Brut.The power of the fruit, plus the extended lees ageing grants such harmony, so much
Blend from Ambonnay, Montagne de Reims
One of the greatest rosé wines of Champagne and a wine of haunting finesse. The blend is 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, with 50% from the 2019 vintage and the reserve wines split between 2018 and 2017. The dosage is a negligible 1 g/L. Interestingly, this is always Egly’s most delicate wine. It’s unbelievably fine, perfumed, delicate and red-fruited; something truly special. 48 months on lees.Disgorged July 2024
