One of the top grower champagne houses that have come into the spotlight in recent years, Egly Ouriet has been crafting world-class wines for many years and was once praised by wine critic Antonio Galloni to be "at the very top of the pecking order in Champagne today". Apart from bubbly champagne, Egly is also a producer of a still red which is arguably THE BEST Coteaux Champenois from Champagne.
