The NV Egly-Ouriet Tradition Grand Cru is a Champagne blend that has garnered positive attention from several reviewers, each highlighting its distinct characteristics. This Champagne is primarily composed of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, with a predominant base from the 2018 vintage. Its production involves barrel fermentation and an aging period on lees for nearly a year, resulting in a complex profile.

Vinous' Antonio Galloni describes this Champagne as "quite fresh and floral," emphasizing its aromatic presence with notes of apricot, tangerine peel, and chamomile. Its understated nature is marked by a dosage of just one gram per liter, making it an Extra Brut style. Galloni gives it a score of 90, acknowledging its subtle elegance.

William Kelley of Robert Parker's Wine Advocate rates it slightly higher at 92+, noting its "inviting aromas of honeyed pear and white flowers mingled with hints of mint and praline." He commends its "pillowy and chiseled" texture, underlining the precise nature of this cuvée, which was formerly known as the "Tradition" bottling.

Wine Spectator's review, penned by AN, also gives it a respectable 91, highlighting its "rich and compact" character. The Champagne opens with creamy aromas and flavors of dried apricot, roasted almond, and cherry blossoms, leading to a "lasting, salty finish."

Jeb Dunnuck's Audrey Frick offers another excellent review with a score of 92, describing it as having a "broad texture" with an "energetic and pillowing mousse." She notes a savory saline edge and richness, with aromas of biscuit, yellow flowers, and orchard peaches.

Finally, Sarah Mayo from The Wine Independent provides a detailed account, emphasizing the "lemon cream, vanilla, and chalk dust" notes. She praises its "chalky acid energy" and the long, honeyed finish, resulting in another score of 92.

Overall, the NV Egly-Ouriet Tradition Grand Cru is a finely crafted Champagne that appeals with its fresh, floral aromas and nuanced palate.
