This is a very strong set of new releases from Francis Egly. It’s easy in this range to focus on the higher-end wines, and that is certainly understandable given their quality, but this year I was quite taken by the NV Brut Tradition and NV Brut Rosé Grand Cru, which benefit from the richness of the 2012 vintage that is at the heart of both wines. As I have noted in previous reports, the Egly-Ouriet Champagnes are rich and vinous in style, but done with an approach that offers more freshness than in the past.

There are plenty of highlights among these new releases from Egly-Ouriet. A move towards maintaining greater freshness in the wines, including a tendency to reduce the percentage of wines that undergo malolactic fermentation, is resulting in wines with more energy and tension than was the case just a few years ago. Readers will find much to admire in this range of stellar, captivating Champagnes.

The Egly-Ouriet Champagnes are built on maniacal attention in the vineyards, vinification in oak, long aging in bottle before disgorgement and low dosage, all of which yield rich, vinous Champagnes of tremendous density and power. In recent years, Francis Egly has backed off the intensity of his wines and also lowered the oak influence, both of which allow the personalities of his sites to come through clearly. These wines confirm Egly's standing among the elite grower estates in Champagne.

A number of the most impressive 2015 vins clairs I tasted this past spring were in Francis Egly's cellar, including a still Pinot Noir that is off the charts. Over the years, Egly's Champagnes have gained in polish and finesse without sacrificing their trademark power. Egly was among the first producers to emerge in the grower Champagne movement. As such, he is perhaps sometimes overlooked in favor of some of his younger colleagues. Make no mistake about it, though, these wines are at the very top of the pecking order in Champagne today.

I tasted a wide range of wines from Egly-Ouriet this year, some of them in multiple disgorgements, as noted below. Francis Egly crafts uncompromisingly high-quality wines from vineyards in and around his home base of Ambonnay. The wines reflect a unmistakable sense of richness from the high percentage of red grapes, Burgundian-inspired vinification and long aging on the lees. As a consumer, I gravitate towards the V.P. (Vieillissement Prolongé) and Les Crayères Vieilles Vignes, which I consider the estate's true flagships, while I find the vintage Champagne less exciting, for my palate. These remain some of the most singular wines being made in Champagne today. For what its worth, we rarely miss an opportunity to drink them.

A meticulous approach to farming, long aging on the lees and a focus on well-exposed sites all inform Francis Egly's wines. These are some of the richest, most vinous Champagnes readers will come across. With the exception of the pure Pinot Meunier, Les Vignes de Vrigny, which is disgorged with only three years on the lees and the Rosè, the Egly Champagnes are made in an oxidative, full-bodied style that is compelling. As always, these are some of the most original wines being made in Champagne.

This range from Francis Egly is one of the most impressive I tasted. Egly farms eight hectares of old-vine plots, the lion's share of which are in his home base of Ambonnay. The wines are made in a pure, unmanipulated fashion with no filtration in a style that clearly highlights the qualities of variety and terroir to the fullest. Readers will find more details as to the aging of the various bottlings and their disgorgement dates on the back labels. In short, I always look forward to drinking the wines of Egly-Ouriet and I can't recommend these Champagnes highly enough.
