🚨Limited Availability: Egly-Ouriet 'Les Vignes de Bisseuil' 1er Cru from HK$695 per Bt
Back in the olden days, the Champagne market was dominated by the Grande Marques and no one hardly cared for those so-called "grower champagnes"; but as the drinkers grew more sophisticated and demanded for more, they started to look beyond the commercial bottles that we are all so well acquainted with, and that's when the grower champagnes started to come into the spotlight. Despite not being Grand Marques, many of these grower champagnes has been creating world-class wines for many years, and one of the most iconic Grower Champagnes is none other than Egly-Ouriet which was praised by wine critic Antonio Galloni to be "at the very top of the pecking order in Champagne today".
Located in the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay which is home to some of the greatest Pinot Noir in all of France, Francis Egly was determined to take their Pinot Noir-dominant Champagnes up another few notches from where it already was when he took over from his father in 1980, and proceeded to switch to organic practices and reduced yields. In addition to the meticulous work done in the vineyards, Francis was equally attentive throughout the winemaking process. He harvests very ripe grapes, keeps only the first pressing using very gentle extraction and ages in barrels for years longer than most other counterparts, he creates absolutely beautiful Champagnes that truly express the terroir which the wines came from.
In 2021, this splendid producer added a new cuvee 'Les Vignes de Bisseuil' Premier Cru to his range. It is a 1er Cru vineyard located in Bisseuil and covers merely 1.5 hectares. The vines are around 40 years old, and they are entirely vinified in barrels and spent at least four years with lees before disgorgement. With a very limited availability, we are delighted to offer:
Egly-Ouriet 'Les Vignes de Bisseuil' Premier Cru Extra Brut
HK$750 per bottle
Special Offer:
HK$720 per bottle if you buy three bottles or above
HK$695 per bottle if you buy six bottles or above
92pts William Kelley, Wine Advocate (Based on 2018 Vintage)
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.
Subject to final confirmation. Special discounts available until 15th Feb 2024. ETA around 4 weeks.
