Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne Premier Cru Vignes de Bisseuil Extra Brut by Egly-Ouriet is a Traditional Method sparkling wine with a straw yellow colour and an extremely fine perlage. This blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier offers a bouquet with clear fruity notes, enriched by fragrant pastry aromas. On the palate, it stands out for its mineral freshness and a dry sip that evolves into a long-lasting finish. Served between 6 and 8°C, it pairs harmoniously with starters, fish and shellfish dishes, or with selections of refined cheeses.
Where it comes from
Originating from Bisseuil, a Premier Cru area of Champagne, this wine is born on chalky soils capable of reflecting sunlight and releasing warmth during the night. The soil composition naturally regulates water reserves, giving the glass a pronounced mineral identity. The grapes come from old vines that concentrate aromatic intensity and guarantee a taut flavour profile, an authentic expression of the terroir of origin.
How it is produced
The vinification process begins with fermentation entrusted exclusively to indigenous yeasts, followed by the prise de mousse as required by the Traditional Method. The wine then undergoes maturation in oak barrels for 48 months: a prolonged rest that enhances its aromatic complexity. The evolution in wood enriches the structure while maintaining the acidic tension of the Extra Brut dosage, culminating in a long and vibrant finish.
