Egly-Ouriet Coteaux Champenois Cuvée des Grands Côtés Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Ambonnay Rouge, Champagne, France, 2019, 750ml

Coteaux Champenois AOC “Cuvée des Grands Côtes” Ambonnay Rouge 2019 is a fine red wine produced by Egly-Ouriet. It is a rare still wine produced in the Champagne region of France, made from old pinot noir vines located in Ambonnay, a Grand Cru village of Champagne. It is matured in oak barrels, partly new and partly first passage, for a period of about 20 months. It is a great red wine from Pinot noir that expresses a bright ruby red colour, with an intense nose of red fruit and flowers, and spicy and smoky notes. The taste is balanced between softness and freshness, with well-blended tannins and nice persistence.
