Egly-Ouriet Brut Les Prémices (Base 19–18–17) – Champagne Gallery
A Precise, Charming Champagne From a Storied New Site
Les Prémices is a beautifully balanced and refined release from the renowned Egly-Ouriet estate, made from vines in Trigny, northwest of Reims. Previously sold off, the fruit from these plots—passed down through Annick Egly’s family—is now being transformed into elegant, site-specific Champagne by Francis Egly and his returning children. This is just the second-ever release of this exciting cuvée, and it reflects the house’s exacting standards with a slightly gentler expression.
