Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The NV Brut Rosé Grand Cru blends roughly two-thirds Pinot Noir and one-third Chardonnay with 2% of red wine. The current release is based on the 2010 vintage and according to Francis, only barrel-fermented parts have been used for the blend. Fresh red berries and cherries on the nose lead to a very fruity, firm, fresh and elegantly textured palate. The wine is lovely, clear and mineral, with aromatic sweet cherry fruit and delicate tannin structure. With two or three grams of dosage, this is virtually an Extra Brut. The grapes were sourced in the Grand Cru terroirs of Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay.

Description
Egly-Ouriet Rosé Grand Cru Extra Brut is a sublime expression of Champagne, reflecting the expertise and dedication of the Egly-Ouriet winery. This wine is a blend of 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay, a combination that gives it exceptional complexity and balance.
Winemaking
This champagne is made using the traditional method of bottle fermentation, a process that contributes to its fine perlage and elegant structure. The ageing of this wine is a crucial aspect of its development. Attention to detail and time spent maturing in the bottle are fundamental to achieving the quality that characterises it. This meticulous approach to ageing allows the wine to develop a depth and complexity of aromas and flavours that distinguish it in the world of champagnes.
Taste
Egly-Ouriet Rosé Grand Cru Extra Brut is a champagne with a structured character and pronounced minerality, offering a unique taste experience. On the palate, notes of red fruits, such as raspberry and cherry, are revealed, intertwined with nuances of citrus and white flowers. The acidity is vibrant and well integrated, providing a perfect balance with the richness of the wine.
The texture is another outstanding feature of this champagne. The bubbles are fine and persistent, adding a tactile dimension that enhances the tasting experience. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and sophistication.
