A precise and meticulous worker, Francis Égly is at the top of the Champagne world. With his vineyards magnificently situated in grand cru (pinot noir and chardonnay in Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay) and premier cru (in Vrigny and Bisseuil), he makes wines of prodigious vinosity, intensity and nobility of character, always on the razor's edge between the great ripeness of the grapes and a fine chalky minerality. All his vintages are vinified in wood, without malolactic fermentation. The critics are enthusiastic, such as M. Bettane, who says that "Égly-Ouriet sets the tone for all Champagne viticulture with vintages of staggering depth". Égly-Ouriet has been rewarded with its fourth star in the Revue du Vin de France's 2025 guide.

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2027) : 100/100 Coup de ♥ “The magic really comes to life with Les Crayères Blanc de Noirs, half of which is made from the 2018 and 2017 vintages. The Pinot Noir is at its very best here, offering body, density and depth; the balance remains exemplary and the finish is remarkable.”
