Champagne Egly-Ouriet
Les Crayères
The Champagne Les Crayères by Egly-Ouriet is a Blanc de Noirs of extraordinary depth and expressive rigour, crafted entirely from Pinot Noir sourced from a single historic plot in the Grand Cru of Ambonnay. This lieu-dit, planted in 1946, rises on a unique soil, a layer of earth of just 30 centimetres resting directly on a chalk bedrock that extends dozens of metres deep. The old vines, deeply rooted in the chalk, fully express the character of the terroir, lending the wine concentration, ripeness and intense red fruit notes, together with a "crayeuse" minerality that brings elegance and remarkable ageing potential.
This edition, based on the 2017 harvest, captures all the balance and tension that defined the vintage. Vinification and fermentation take place entirely in barrique, without fining, filtration or malolactic fermentation, a choice that preserves the natural freshness and the identity of the terroir. After bottling, the wine ages on its lees for over 72 months before dégorgement. The final dosage of 1 g/l, in Extra Brut style, underlines the stylistic purity and the bold character of the cuvée.
On tasting, "Les Crayères" reveals a brilliant golden yellow colour with amber reflections. The nose is rich and multifaceted, offering aromas of ripe red fruits, hazelnut, yellow flowers, candied citrus and a clear chalky minerality. On the palate it is vigorous, structured and deep, with a fine and creamy mousse supporting a taut and savoury sip. The finish is long and precise, with fruity, toasted and mineral nuances unfolding in perfect succession. A great Blanc de Noirs Champagne shaped by long ageing, faithful to the artisanal and uncompromising vision of Francis Egly, and the highest expression of Ambonnay Pinot Noir.
