Francis Egly’s 2012 Brut Grand Cru Millésime is predictably brilliant; but it’s also a serious structured wine that will need time to unwind. Mingling notes of citrus oil pear and stone fruit with hints of freshly baked bread praline and baking spices it’s full-bodied deep and multidimensional with huge concentration and a taut layered core. Built around a racy spine of acidity and prodigious reserves of chalky extract it’s long precise and remarkably fine-boned and elegant for such a powerful wine. Make no mistake this is one of the wines of the vintage but?like the 2008?it will demand patience. With more age on cork however I wouldn’t be surprised if it began to close in on a three-digit score.

Description

It was right after the second World War that the Egly House was born, when Francis Egly’s Grandfather started in the wine business. Today, the vineyard covers about 17 hectares, eight of which are located in Ambonnay and the rest in Bouzy, Verzenay and Vrigny. Two thirds are planted of Pinot noir and the rest is shared between Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. The soil is clay-limestone and benefits from a south-east exposure. All the work is reasoned farming. Depending on the harvest’s and the wine’s characteristics, Francis Egly, the current owner, varies the barrels in which the wine is going to age. He believes in the importance of letting every terroir express itself, instead of following a steady recipe. Of the 150,000 bottles produced every year, only 100,000 are sold, and the rest are kept as reserve—today Egly-Ouriet has no less than 700,000 bottles in reserve.
