2016 Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Millesime Champagne

95 Points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous

“The 2016 Extra Brut Millésime Grand Cru is impressive. Bright and sculpted, with terrific energy, the 2016 exudes considerable precision and finesse. Orchard fruit, white pepper, mint, chalk, dried herbs, tangerine oil and crushed rocks all race across the palate. This is an especially taut, salivating vintage for the Millésime. A kiss of French oak lingers on the close. Dosage is 1 gram per liter. Disgorged: July 2025.”

96 Points - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com

“Tight, almost austere. Very chalky and mineral, showing strawberries and fresh apples with tarte tatin complexity. Violets, ginger and vibrant citrus as well. Medium-bodied with pinprick bubbles and some vinous character on the structured palate. Depth, energy and singed-bread flavors. Refined finish. 70% pinot noir and 30% chardonnay. So elegant. Drink or hold.”
