Wine Spectator
“A round and well-balanced Champagne, with a fresh, lightly juicy frame of acidity and a creamy bead supporting flavors of white cherry, Marcona almond and lemon zest. A tangy hint of saline shows on the finish. Disgorged July 2018. Drink now through 2021.”
Highlights
Egly Ouriet VP Vieillissement Prolonge Grand Cru Extra Brut Champagne
The Ambonnay-based Egly-Ouriet is a reference point for grower-producers in Champagne, known for their impeccable vineyard management and fastidious winemaking skills. Much of their production is raised in oak barrels, with extended aging on lees a feature, and there's no better example of this than their V.P. bottling. The V.P. stands for ‘Vieillissement Prolongé’ (prolonged aging), with the wine spending an average of seven years on lees before being disgorged with an extra brut low of 2g/l dosage. A blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, the fruit comes from Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay.
