Domaine Egly-ouriet Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Brut ‘Les Crayeres’ Vieilles Vignes

This Champagne has notes redolent of Christmas: intense red apple, plum pie, cooked ginger, dark chocolate and sweet baking spices. Domaine Egly-ouriet was one of the earliest grower Champagne houses, and is based in the Grand Cru Village-ambonnay where the finest Pinot Noirs are. From old 70-year-old vines, on rich chalky soil, with extra ageing on lees, this is an oaky, exuberant choice to pair with charcuterie, cured meat and turkey.
