Egly-Ouriet, Les Vignes de Bisseuil Vintage:N.V. plums and black cherries are

plums and black cherries are some of the nuances that take shape in the glass

Lovely juice with excellent aging potential

The 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta is my favorite wine in the retrospective

Appealingly sweet on the persistent finish

I loved the 2017 Gigondas Ventabren and savvy readers should snatch this beauty up

Egly-Ouriet, Les Vignes de Bisseuil Vintage:N.V. plums and black cherries areThis release of the NV Champagne Vignes De Bisseuil is based on 2019 but also includes 2018 and 2017. In the glass it pours a bright silver straw hue and offers savory, ripe aromas of pear, melon rind, fresh earth, and briny salinity, with bold character and ample ripeness. Medium to full bodied, it delivers a good deal of intensity and maybe even more fruity on the palate. Its a savory wine with lovely richness, a refined mousse, and a long finish.
