The fruit comes from a single south-facing vineyard in the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay, situated directly below the domaine’s celebrated Les Crayères parcel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard’s old vines, more than 60 years of age, are rooted in soils containing a higher proportion of clay than the neighboring chalk-dominant Les Crayères site. This warmer, clay-rich terroir is particularly well suited to producing deeply flavored, structured Pinot Noir. The vineyard is farmed according to practicing-organic principles, with meticulous attention to vine health, ripeness and naturally low yields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are harvested by hand and fermented with indigenous yeasts in French oak barrels. The wine is then matured in barrel for approximately 22 months, with around 30% new oak. It is bottled individually by hand directly from barrel, without fining or filtration, preserving the wine’s natural concentration, texture and expression of its Ambonnay terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 Cuvée des Grands Côtes is an intense yet beautifully refined expression of Pinot Noir. Aromas of ripe raspberry, red cherry and wild strawberry are joined by rose petals, savory spices, crushed stone and subtly toasted oak. The palate combines generous fruit with freshness and mineral precision, framed by finely textured tannins and a long, complex finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough produced within Champagne, this is not a sparkling wine. Coteaux Champenois is the appellation reserved for the region’s rare still wines, and Egly-Ouriet’s Ambonnay Rouge is widely regarded as one of its most distinguished examples. Its depth, structure and ability to develop in the cellar frequently invite comparison with fine red Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis exceptionally limited wine may be enjoyed after decanting or cellared for further development. Serve slightly cool with roast duck, game birds, veal, beef tenderloin, wild mushrooms, truffle dishes or aged cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coteaux Champenois\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVillage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ambonnay Grand Cru, Montagne de Reims\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single south-facing parcel below Les Crayères\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVine age:\u003c\/strong\u003e More than 60 years\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Practicing organic\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indigenous yeasts in French oak barrels\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eÉlevage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 22 months in barrel, including around 30% new oak\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottled by hand directly from barrel; unfined and unfiltered\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWine style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Still red wine\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13% ABV\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottle size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"67Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52697476989211,"sku":"210000060737","price":295.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/hzouuda0cs2ftaoscsju.jpg?v=1785420373","url":"https:\/\/67wine.com\/products\/egly-ouriet-coteaux-champenois-rouge-ambonnay-rouge-cuvee-des-grands-cotes-vv-grand-cru-champagne-2023-750ml-introductory-price","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
