Egly-Ouriet, Brut Tradition Grand Cru

With each new disgorgement, Egly-Ouriet’s Brut Grand Cru boldly stand eye-to-eye with any Champagne luxury label that dares to challenge it—as it should: This flagship bottle hails from some of the most elite Pinot Noir vineyards in the world and is crafted by Francis Egly, a legendary artisan who is currently receiving the highest marks Champagne has ever seen. Among the ever-growing band of small-scale ‘grower’ Champagne houses—producers who own and grow all the fruit for their wines themselves—Egly-Ouriet has become an unstoppable force. 
This Grand Cru Brut is incredibly delicious, vinous, and consistent, easily competing for the top of its class year after year. The newest disgorgement has its signature opulence but there is an intense focus and laser-sharp precision that is incredibly welcome. This is more than a lavish bottle of wine—it expertly walks a tightrope of generous ripeness and nervy minerality. The rich and intense aromatics are led by redcurrant, blood orange, red plum skin, white pear, ripe yellow apples, salt-preserved lemon, brioche, acacia honey, cream, lees, yellow flowers, pulverized stones, and chalk.

France

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
