2018 Egly-Ouriet Les Vignes de Bisseuil Premier Cru Assemblage 0,75 Liter

The Egly-Ouriet Les Vignes de Bisseuil Premier Cru Assemblage 2018 is a refined vintage Champagne from Bisseuil, crafted by Egly-Ouriet. Blending 80% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir, and 10% Pinot Meunier, it displays a pale gold hue with fine bubbles and a vibrant nose of citrus, bread crust, and crisp pear, with hints of white flowers and chalky minerality. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with racy acidity, a creamy mousse, and a precise, mineral-driven finish. With a low dosage (3 g/L) and 4 years of lees aging, disgorged in July 2024, it reflects the powerful 2018 vintage. Perfect with oysters, sushi, or goat cheese, it’s ideal for fine dining. Drinking beautifully now, it can age for 5-7 years, developing richer notes. This Premier Cru showcases Egly-Ouriet’s Chardonnay-focused elegance, offering a refined Champagne for enthusiasts seeking finesse and terroir-driven complexity.
