Egly-Ouriet Dinner Adelaide
Event Details

GEORGES, 20 WAYMOUTH ST, ADELAIDE CBD, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
You are invited to a rare and exclusive evening to experience the latest releases from Egly-Ouriet, one of Champagne's finest growers.
Francis Egly is the fourth generation of the Egly family to make wines from their exceptionally located, old vine vineyards in the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay (home to some of the greatest Pinot Noir that can be found in Champagne), where he is considered the finest grower. Francis took over from his father Michel in 1980, with the intent and commitment to take these already revered Pinot Noir dominant champagnes to the absolute apex of quality. He began using organic methods in the vineyards, with regular ploughing, and reduced yields. Francis believes deeply that complexity and structure comes not only from perfect fruit, but also from extended lees aging. This belief is felt throughout his line-up, with most of his wines undergoing a minimum of 48 months on the lees with some cuvees being aged for 100+ months!
“The Egly-Ouriet Champagnes are built on maniacal attention in the vineyards, vinification in oak, long aging in bottle before disgorgement and low dosage, all of which yield rich, vinous Champagnes of tremendous density and power … These wines confirm Egly’s standing among the elite grower estates in Champagne.” Antonio Galloni, Vinous
It is our great privilege to showcase these magnificent and rare cuvées so in-demand by champagne collectors globally.
The entire collection represents superb base and reserve wines including the 'best palette of reserve wines' of Francis Egly's career.
