Egly-Ouriet Les Premicies Brut NV AOC 0,75l

Egly-Ouriet Les Premices Brut NV AOC 0.75l is a non-vintage Champagne that speaks with sober substance of the land of Ambonnay and the Montagne de Reims, where the vineyards are cultivated rigorously but above all with respect for the rhythms of nature, favoring soil management, manual harvesting when conditions permit, and a fermentation that enhances the purity of the fruit without superstructure. The history of the Egly-Ouriet house is born from the legacy of winemakers who have turned the smallness of their domains into a strength: carefully selected vineyards, agricultural practices that seek a balance between yield and depth, a cellar that works with attention to detail, and a philosophy that favors slow maturation on the lees to preserve the dynamism and longevity of the wine. In this context, Les Premices Brut presents itself as a true addition to the range: not a show-stopping creation, but a vivid reflection of the terroir's quality, offering both immediacy and complexity. This blend combines grapes from plots traditionally suited to the house's Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, vinified traditionally and fermented in the bottle to impart finesse and structure without promotional gimmicks. The distinctive character of this cuvée lies in the recognizable balance between acidic vitality and complex smoothness: dense yet delicate bubbles, a fine perlage that supports a lively freshness, citrus nuances combined with hints of white fruit, yeast, and a mineral note reminiscent of sun-exposed white stones. The nose opens with a clean and luminous profile, without excess, while on the palate, the vinosity flows, balanced by a savory kick and a persistence that extends the finish with buttery notes and light toastiness. Within the Egly-Ouriet range, Les Premices Brut NV occupies a prominent position as an entry point to the house without sacrificing its identity and depth: it is the ideal companion for elegant aperitifs, seafood appetizers, or light dishes, while also inviting exploration of other wines from the same winery, recognizing their progression and coherence. Finally, why STELT finds its true expression here: a choice that combines terroir, measured production, and authentic flavor, capable of accompanying simple moments and elegant occasions with the same understated excellence.
