Practicing organic. 70% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Noir, 15% Meunier. 60% 2017, 40% 2016. From a 1.5 ha parcel in the village of Bisseuil, directly adjacent to the village of Ay. 40+ year old vines. Indigenous yeast. No malo. Fermented and aged in barrel (10% new). Aged 48 months on the lees. Dosage: 2g/L. Unfined and unfiltered.

A new cuvée from Egly makes its debut in the NV Brut Vignes de Bisseuil, a blend of 70% Chardonnay and the balance equal parts Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir, all vinified in oak. This first release, disgorged in March 2021 with three grams dosage, is based on the 2016 vintage. Offering up aromas of crisp orchard fruit, lemon oil, mint, white flowers and almonds, it's medium to full-bodied, vinous and chiseled, its enveloping core of fruit girdled by bright acids and chalky structure. Concluding with a long, saline finish, it's a superb addition to the range that nips at the heels of Egly's NV Brut Grand Cru.
