I had this on 2/19/26. This bottle from a different source but same disgorgement date. The nose dances and twirls. Green apple-golden apple w/ skins, tangerine, lime-lemon citrus, grapefruit w/ pith, kiwi, white stone fruits, malt, frothed cream, vanillin, light caramel notes, sea spray-fossils, beautiful chalk powder, limestone marl, a waft of neutral oak, hints of mint & dry herbs, yellow & white spring flowers framed in jasmine. The mousse is soft & beautiful, tiny beaded. It almost seems frothy-foamy, not quite like an ale but reminders of it. It is rich, ripe and lush. The palate is a near mirror of the nose, Green apple-golden apple w/ skins, tangerine, lime-lemon citrus, grapefruit w/ pith, kiwi, white stone fruits, some light apricots, malt, frothed cream, vanillin, light caramel notes, graham cracker crust, some, very light, yeasty, bread dough, white spice that penetrates the palate w/ some mid heat, sea spray-fossils, beautiful chalk powder with tiny bits, limestone marl, volcanics, shows some neutral oak, hints of mint & dry herbs, yellow & white spring flowers framed in jasmine, the lively acidity is near perfect, extremely well; made-knitted-structured, beautifully toned and textbook balanced with elegance for days and finish that lasts two-minutes plus and lands of minerals & mid intensity spice. 48 months on lees and for me a perfect 2g’s dosage. This has gotten spendy but if you buy it pre-arrival at the right reseller, not so bad given the quality. Seen it @ $94.

The nose shows tangerine, thinned yellow peach, golden/red apples, lemon/lime pulp with a hint of zest, pear, whiff of lemon meringue pie, ginger-ale, graham cracker crust, baguette crust, caramel notes, silvered almonds, some light brioche, pink roses & yellow flowers. The palate entry is beautiful, ripe, rich with lively crisp acidity at first and softens in the glass. Some light oxidative presense. Tangerine, some marmalade yellow peach, golden/red apples, lemon/lime pulp with a hints of zest, pear, lemon meringue to custard, ginger-ale, graham cracker crust, baguette crust, yeasty bread dough, vanilla, caramel notes, silvered almonds, some light brioche, beautiful, soft, chalk/sea fossil powder, crisp, grey volcanic minerals, pink roses & yellow flowers. It is extremely well made, balance for days with an elegant softy rich finish that last nearly two-minutes and lands on soft earth & minerals. Disgorged 7/25, 2g making it really a Nature. 36 months on lees. Photos of Egly-Ouriet and Owner and Winemaker Francis Egly.

The NV (2017) Les Vignes de Bisseuil offers up scents of citrus, anise, wild flowers and herbs. I find the vegetal notes and angular contours overpowering. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2023)
