About this product
Egly-Ouriet's Blanc de Noirs Vieilles Vignes is one of Champagne's most profound wines: old-vine Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier (70+ years) from the Marne Valley and Ambonnay, vinified in old barrique and aged 4+ years on lees. Deep gold with extraordinary complexity: red berry, brioche, hazelnut, mushroom, chalk, and umami depth. The wine has the structure of a great Burgundy with Champagne's mineral precision. One of the grower Champagne world's greatest expressions. Extremely limited allocation.

Egly-Ouriet Blanc de Noirs Vieilles Vignes — with its extraordinary Pinot Noir depth and red berry-mushroom complexity — achieves one of Champagne's most ambitious food pairings with roasted Bresse chicken and truffle. The wine's structured Pinot character stands up to the richness of truffle-stuffed chicken; jus gras amplifies the Champagne's umami depth; the wine's extended lees aging creates a textural bridge with the roasted skin. A grower Champagne pairing of extraordinary ambition.

complement
Egly-Ouriet Blanc de Noirs' red berry character and brioche-hazelnut complexity achieves remarkable harmony with smoked duck breast — the wine's Pinot Noir depth supports the duck's smoke character while cherry amplifies the wine's red fruit. Hazelnut echoes the Champagne's autolytic complexity. A pairing that positions grower Champagne as a genuine fine dining red wine alternative — pushing Champagne's versatility to its most ambitious expression.
