Egly Ouriet Les Vignes De Bisseuil Champagne 750 ML

The NV (2016) Les Vignes de Bisseuil races out of the glass, showing terrific energy and cut. White flowers, pear, mint, white pepper and lemon peel give the 2016 notable brightness to complement its mid-weight, focused personality. All the elements come together so well in this beautifully expressive Champagne, another new addition to the range. Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: July, 2021. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

The NV Les Vignes de Bisseuil Premier Cru Extra Brut is a blend of 80% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir, and 10% Pinot Meunier from estate vines located in the 1er Cru of Bisseuil. The blend is based on the 2016 vintage, and it was barrel fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in barrel on lees for 52 months before being disgorged in November 2021. It has 3 g/L dosage. Pale lemon-gold in color, it comes bounding out with ready-to-go notes of fresh grapefruit, raspberry leaves, and Golden Delicious apples, followed by hints of pear drops, marzipan, and clover honey. The palate is refreshingly dry and energetic with youthful citrus and crunchy apple flavors, supported by a very fine mousse, finishing long and zesty with impressive purity and precision. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent
