Brut 1er Cru les Prémices

Les Prémices is the cuvée that introduces you to the house of Egly-Ouriet best. Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir go into the wine in equal parts, with a base from 2020. As with all the house's champagnes, it is aged in oak barrels and malolactic fermentation is avoided. With only 2 g/l of dosage, the wine stays tight and lean. The bouquet is mineral and floral, and on the palate the minerality returns with good length.

The champagne is elegant and fresh, which makes it a fitting partner for a carpaccio of Saint-Jacques scallops. Pour it at 9 to 11 °C in a white wine glass with a little volume, so the floral notes can open up.
