Les Prémices by Egly-Ouriet perfectly expresses the domaine’s powerful, precise and deeply vinous style. Crafted primarily from Pinot Noir, complemented by Chardonnay, this cuvée reflects the meticulous craftsmanship and uncompromising standards that have established Egly-Ouriet’s reputation in Ambonnay.
Vinified with great care and aged extensively on lees, Les Prémices delivers a pure and authentic expression of Champagne terroir. The nose reveals yellow fruits, ripe apple and pear, layered with brioche and lightly toasted notes. On the palate, it is broad and structured, supported by vibrant tension and generous substance.

Maison Egly-Ouriet – The Essence of Champagne Terroir
A benchmark among grower Champagnes, Maison Egly-Ouriet has long been revered for its deep respect for terroir. Based in Ambonnay, one of the most prestigious Grand Cru villages in the Montagne de Reims, the house is led by Francis Egly, who has elevated it to cult status among enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
Its 17-hectare vineyard, primarily planted with Pinot Noir, thrives in chalky soils that impart power, depth, and elegance to its wines. Committed to sustainability, Egly-Ouriet practices low-intervention viticulture, ensuring low yields and optimal grape maturity to fully express the character of each plot.
The house is renowned for its meticulous winemaking: fermentation in oak barrels, extended aging on lees (far beyond Champagne norms), and no malolactic fermentation to preserve freshness and structure. This results in intensely complex Champagnes, offering a rich texture and unmistakable vinous character.
Among its iconic cuvées, the Brut Grand Cru showcases the pure essence of its terroir, while the legendary Les Crayères Vieilles Vignes, a 100% Pinot Noir from century-old vines, is a true collector’s gem. With an uncompromising philosophy and limited production, Egly-Ouriet epitomizes the excellence of terroir-driven Champagne, where every bottle tells a story of authenticity and passion.
