The Egly Ouriet maison was founded around 1940 around the end of the Second World War, when Charles Egly bought about three hectares of vineyards in the Grand Cru of Ambonnay. Over time, Charles Egly decided to expand his Maison by buying another eight hectares of vineyards in the municipalities of Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay and in addition, another three hectares of vineyards located in the municipality of Vrigny have recently been added. Francis, grandson of the founder, with a lot of work and with a lot of attention to the smallest details has been able to bring the production of Champagne to the highest levels of quality, on a par with the other great Champagne Maisons.
