Les vignes de Bisseuil

Les Vignes de Bisseuil is a more recent cuvée from Egly-Ouriet and stands out in the house's range: it is mostly Chardonnay, 80% in fact, with 10% each of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The grapes come from the house's own vineyard in Bisseuil, a site classified Premier Cru. The base is the 2016 harvest, which was bottled in 2017. The champagne spent four years in the cellar before disgorgement. The dosage is 3 g per litre.

The high proportion of Chardonnay points to a fresh, tightly focused style. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass. It goes well with oysters, pan-fried fish or scallops, and works just as well as an aperitif. If you usually know the house for its Pinot Noir champagnes, here you will discover a different side.
