Grand cru millesime 2012

The 2012 vintage from Egly-Ouriet comes from very old vineyards in Ambonnay with Grand Cru status. It is made up of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay and was fully vinified in wooden barrels. Malolactic fermentation was not carried out. It aged for ten years in the house's cellar, and the dosage is only 2 g per litre.

The wine impresses with its complexity and plenty of fruit. After such long ageing it is ready to drink, so there is no need to wait any longer. Pour it at 10 to 12 °C into a white wine glass, ideally a slightly larger one so the aromas can open up. At the table it goes with roast veal, poultry or mature hard cheese. As a gift it suits an enthusiast just as well as it makes a good reason to open a bottle for yourself.
