Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs Vieilles Vignes Les Crayères NV – Champagne Gallery

A Legendary Single-Vineyard Blanc de Noirs – Egly-Ouriet Les Crayères NV is a benchmark expression of Ambonnay Grand Cru Pinot Noir, sourced from 75-year-old vines planted in 1946. Grown in a south-facing vineyard with only 30cm of topsoil before pure chalk, this cuvée delivers intense minerality, power, and depth, making it one of the most profound and age-worthy Champagnes available.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Deep golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse.
  • Aroma: Rich and layered, revealing dark berries, toasted hazelnuts, brioche, and crushed chalk with hints of spice and smoke.
  • Palate: Full-bodied and deeply textured, with layers of ripe Pinot Noir fruit, saline minerality, and a long, chiselled finish. Exceptionally concentrated yet refined.
