“Iconic Grower Champagne with muscle and mineral.”.
A single 3.5 hectare parcel in Trigny. Equal parts Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. No malolactic fermentation. 36 months on lees in steel. 1 gram dosage.
Les Premices is where Egly-Ouriet begins, and beginning this conversation here is already an education. Apple, citrus, dried flowers, crushed stone, vanilla on the nose. Ultra-fine mousse. A crystalline freshness and precision that is quintessentially this domaine. Lighter in weight than the Grand Cru but not in conviction. A bottle that makes you want to immediately open the next one in the lineup.
Vinokart Tasting Note
Egly-Ouriet's entry-level cuvée — though 'entry-level' barely applies here — Les Prémices is a remarkable Champagne of vinous depth and precision, made by one of the region's most celebrated grower-producers in Ambonnay.

Decanter
“The most accessible and open-knit of Egly-Ouriet's cuvées, Les Prémices carries an appetising brown bread, honey and spice complexity behind the fragrant, rounded orchard fruit and juicy black plum. A fine introduction to this part of Champagne.”
