The Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs "Les Bussets" is one of the most remarkable and highly anticipated Champagnes of recent years. Crafted by the prestigious grower-producer Egly-Ouriet (based in Ambonnay), it marks a historic milestone for the estate.

A major first for the House: This is quite simply the very first Blanc de Blancs ever produced and released by Egly-Ouriet, a House traditionally renowned for its mastery of Pinot Noir (notably with "Les Crayères" or its red Grand Crus).

A historic, century-old terroir: This 100% Chardonnay Champagne comes from a single plot of old vines planted in 1902 (making the vines over 120 years old).

Precision aging and craftsmanship: True to the estate's rigorous philosophy, the wine undergoes meticulous parcel-specific vinification in barrels, followed by extended aging on the lees (en latte) for seven years before disgorgement, with a very low dosage (generally around 1 g/L) to allow the absolute purity of the terroir to shine through. Flavor profile: This is a wine that is at once vinous, extremely concentrated, and taut, with a profound chalky character—combining the saline richness of old-vine Chardonnay with the House’s signature chiseled elegance.

It is an extremely rare bottle, highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors of fine grower Champagnes.
