Francis Egly is the fourth generation in the family business.^[2] Egly-Ouriet grand cru vineyards are located in Ambonnay, Verzenay and Bouzy; its premier cru Pinot Meunier vineyards are in Vrigny. Grand cru vineyards are planted to 70 percent Pinot Noir and 30 percent Chardonnay.^[3] The domaine chooses 3-4 years of barrel aging of the wine, far longer than most Champagne producers.
