Champagne​‌​ Egly-Ouriet is a récoltant-manipulant in the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay, in the Montagne de Reims.

• History: The estate is run by Francis Egly, the fourth generation of the family, who took over from his father Michel in the early 1980s. His daughter Clémence now works alongside him.
• Vineyards and terroir: The vineyards lie in the Grand Cru villages of Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay and are planted mainly with Pinot Noir, completed with Chardonnay. In 2016 a Chardonnay-dominated vineyard in Bisseuil was added.
• Winemaking and style: No herbicides or chemical fertilisers are used in the vineyard and the soils are ploughed. The wines are vinified in barrels without malolactic fermentation and age for at least four years before release.
• Cuvées: The range includes the Brut Tradition Grand Cru, the Extra Brut Grand Cru, the Blanc de Noirs Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru 'Les Crayères' and several vintage champagnes.
