"The NV Brut Blanc de Noirs Les Crayeres Grand Cru explodes from the glass with a range of Pinot aromas and flavors that is just breathtaking. Bright acids and beams of saline intensity offer striking contrast. Even though it has just been Disgorged: the Crayeres is just stunning. For readers who want to know what Pinot from Ambonnay tastes like well this is it. Hints of Mirabelle plum red plum and dried flowers linger on the substantial finish." —Vinous

"Reviewed by William Kelley Issue Date 30th Apr 2019 Source Issue 242 End of April 2019 The Wine Advocate The latest release of the NV Brut Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Les Crayères is stunning wafting from the glass with pure and expressive aromas of ripe apples fresh peach toasted sesame and fresh pastry. On the palate it's full-bodied fleshy and powerful with a beautifully refined—even delicate—mousse a deep but open-knit core brisk acids and a long expansive and mouthwateringly lively finish. Despite its broad shoulders this is a supple expressive and charming rendition of Les Crayères that exemplifies how the greatest wines attain concentration without weight. Egly-Ouriet crafts some of my very favorite Champagnes and this bottle reminded me to buy more." —Robert Parker

More about Egly-Ouriet

Francis Egly’s stunning wines have become this scarce for a reason. For four generations the Egly family has farmed their old-vine Grand Cru vineyards in Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay. When Francis took over the family estate in the 1980s, Champagne was still deep in its industrial farming era. He chose a different path: organic farming, replanting with massal selections, restricting yields, harvesting ripe fruit and fermenting and aging in oak barrels. The wines spend years sur lattes, in most cases at least 48 months with some far longer, and are bottled with just a touch of dosage. The result is Champagne with remarkable power and depth, beautifully concentrated fruit and incredibly textural detail.

Back in the day, Egly’s approach was nothing short of radical. Along with other iconic growers of his generation like Anselme Selosse and Olivier Collin (Ulysse Colin), Francis was instrumental in transforming our understanding of what Champagne could be and in carving a path for the grower Champagne movement itself.

And critics place Egly-Ouriet at the very highest levels. William Kelley calls Francis “the most precise and meticulous winemaker in Champagne,” while Antonio Galloni places the domaine “at the very top of the pecking order in Champagne today.” Kristaps Karklins of The Wine Advocate writes that “this 20-hectare domaine continues to refine and improve, producing wines of intensity and power without the weight… these wines number among the best in Montagne de Reims, particularly the exceptional Blanc de Noirs Les Crayères and the Millésime.”
