Ivoire et Ebene Brut Premier Cru 2005 Aubry

Professional reviews

Vinous (93)

The 2005 Brut Ivoire et Ebène is better than the La Nombre d'Or Campanae Vetères Vites in this vintage. It is a pure, crystalline Champagne endowed with gorgeous crisp pears, apples and white flowers, all of which flow effortlessly from the glass. I especially like the energy and freshness here. The blend is 60% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier. Ivoire et Ebène is the only Aubry Champagne aged in oak. Disgorged June 2011.

Late release (2025) from the cellars of Aubry.

The Aubry Ivoire et Ebene is a Champagne built on the contrast between the noble Chardonnay "Ivoire" (ivory) and the rustic Meunier "Ebène" (ebony), both varieties coming exclusively from the village of Jouy-lès-Reims.
