Enjoy it now, or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant before serving.
Les Premices open up with a focused nose of citrus, brioche, white flowers, and hints of tropical fruits. It is an incredibly dry wine, with a dosage of just 1g/l, allowing every nuance of the terroir to shine through. It is a blend of the three classic Champagne grapes: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay.
Egly-Ouriet is a fourth-generation Champagne house, drawing from 12 hectares of vineyards in Ambonnay. It gained a cult following in the 1980s, under the leadership of Francis Egly, and while it may still be a small-scale, family-run winery, the quality of its wines speaks volumes. Those at the winery prefer to create single-vineyard wines - Les Premicesis a 3.5-hectare Premier Cru plot, notable for its precise and mineral-rich Champagnes.
There is a fine mousse-like feel on the palate, contrasted by a strong acidic drive and precise minerality. Its flavours evoke white orchard fruits, citrus zest, freshly baked bread, and wet slate. Aged for 3 years on the lees before bottling, this is a fantastic wine for pairing with shellfish, soft cheese, or simply for serving as an aperitif.

Champagne Egly-Ouriet Les Premices
overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
