Egly-Ouriet Extra Brut VP Vieillissement Prolongé

A blend of the 2013, 2012 and 2011 vintages, Egly's latest NV Egly-Ouriet Extra-Brut Grand Cru V.P. was disgorged in spring 2021 with three grams per liter dosage. It's a lovely wine, bursting with aromas of fresh bread, citrus oil, crisp orchard fruit, praline and subtle hints of clear honey and exotic fruits. Full-bodied, layered and textural, it's concentrated and incisive, with a pinpoint mousse and a long, saline finish. As ever, this is warmly recommended.

VP stands for 'Vieillisement Prolonge', prolonged aging. Nervy, wild flowers and great appeal on the nose. Creamy texture yet light and with lovely racy acidity too.
