Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The NV Brut Rosé Grand Cru blends roughly two-thirds Pinot Noir and one-third Chardonnay with 2% of red wine. The current release is based on the 2010 vintage and according to Francis, only barrel-fermented parts have been used for the blend. Fresh red berries and cherries on the nose lead to a very fruity, firm, fresh and elegantly textured palate. The wine is lovely, clear and mineral, with aromatic sweet cherry fruit and delicate tannin structure. With two or three grams of dosage, this is virtually an Extra Brut. The grapes were sourced in the Grand Cru terroirs of Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay.

Winemaking
This champagne is made using the traditional method of bottle fermentation, a process that contributes to its fine perlage and elegant structure. The ageing of this wine is a crucial aspect of its development. Attention to detail and time spent maturing in the bottle are fundamental to achieving the quality that characterises it.

Taste
Egly-Ouriet Rosé Grand Cru Extra Brut is a champagne with a structured character and pronounced minerality, offering a unique taste experience.
