Egly-Ouriet 1er Cru Les Vignes de Bisseuil Brut NV (750ML)

92 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Based on the 2018 vintage, the latest release of Egly's NV Brut Vignes de Bisseuil was disgorged this year with two grams per liter dosage. Offering up aromas of sweet orchard fruit and crisp white peach mingled with notions of white flowers, praline and freshly baked bread, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and charming, with a fleshy core of fruit and a racy, chalky spine. It's a bright, precise rendition of this Chardonnay-dominant cuvée." 12/23

92 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The NV (2018) Extra Brut Les Vignes de Bisseuil is airy, sculpted and bright. Citrus peel, crushed rocks, white flowers, mint, white pepper and chalk are some of the notes that run through this bracing, super-expressive Champagne from Egly-Ouriet. This is an especially nervy style for the house. This is beautifully done. Dosage is 2 grams per liter. Disgorged: July 2023." 11/23

93 Points, Tom Hewson, Decanter: "A solitary Chardonnay-led cuvée in the Egly-Ouriet portfolio, this nevertheless feels like one of the family with its expressive Mirabelle plum, tangy lemon and toasted nut aromatics, finishing with an energetic chalky squeeze. Francis Egly is a fan of the 'perfect' 2018 vintage, and this example shows admirable focus and concentration for the year. A blend of 70% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Noir and 15% Meunier from Egly's vineyard in the village of Bisseuil." 01/24
