The Maison Egly was born after the second world war, when the grand-father of Francis Egly throws himself into the world of wine growing with three hectares of vineyards in the Grand Cru Ambonnay. His descendants will add another nine hectares to this. In total, the vineyard whose average age of the vines is 40 years covers about ten hectares on the Grands Crus Ambonnay. Unlike the other champagnes, which sell their bottles younger and younger, Francis Egly, following his father Michel, patiently builds a treasure that allows him to market his bruts after four years of ageing, and his vintages after six years.

The magnum of 2008 Brut Millesime Grand Cru from Egly-Ouriet was spectacular. It is just a killer bouquet with scents of dried honey, lemon sherbet, white truffles and linseed oil, exquisitely defined and intense. The palate has fabulous weight and is balanced, quite deep to the extent that blind, I would almost say it was a Blanc de Noir. There is a nonchalance about this champagne that holds the drinker spellbound, delivering stunning precision on its multi-dimensional finish. Frankly, even for someone who has admitted being ambivalent to champagne, it s one of the most sublime that I have encountered for a very long time. I get the fuss.
