Tuesday 7th of February, 6.30pm Start 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 … far from resting on the considerable and merited laurels that he has accrued over a 30-year career, Francis Egly continues to refine and improve. His 2008 Vintage, one of the most extraordinary young Champagnes that I've ever tasted, is only just being disgorged this year… No winemaker in Champagne is more precise or meticulous, from vineyard to cellar… and I continue to be amazed at the reasonable tariff such artisanal craftsmanship commands in a region where those qualities remain hard to come by. While the quality of Egly's wines is an open secret at this stage, I believe that his latest releases number among his best to date. WILLIAM KELLY, The Wine Advocate We are excited to have Francis Egly and his daughter Clémence joining us in early February for a wonderful look in to the latest Egly Ouriet arrivals and disgorgements. Across the board, their Champagnes are blindingly phenomenal. They are the masters of pinot noir and pinot meunier, commanding power while exalting their terroirs. Peter Liem refers to the wines as ‘Burgundy with bubbles,’ due to their head-spinning complexities. Their maniacal attention to detail in their vineyards produces low yields with concentrated and intense berries while Formidable Grand Cru sites based mainly in the regal region of Ambonnay with Bouzay and Verzenay support. Today, Francis's children, Charles and Clémence, have returned to the estate to assist their parents. With their return, they’ve also bought with them new plots of vines and fervent energy. With a successful succession plan in place, they are gung ho on investing in their future which is reflected in their already brilliant Champagnes. The future is bright! This masterclass will showcase the new arrivals from the July 2019 disgorgement. The menu is yet to be confirmed.
