Egly-Ouriet V.P. Extra Brut Grand Cru is a highly acclaimed grower Champagne, celebrated for its intensely vinous character, extended aging, and profound commitment to expressing its terroir. The initials "V.P." stand for "Vieillissement Prolongé," signifying an exceptionally long maturation on the lees, often exceeding six years, which imparts remarkable depth and complexity. The grapes are sourced exclusively from Grand Cru villages such as Ambonnay, Bouzy, and Verzenay, with Pinot Noir (70%) providing structure and richness, complemented by Chardonnay (30%) for finesse and mineral precision. The estate practices organic farming, ferments with indigenous yeasts in older French oak barrels, and avoids malolactic fermentation. A minimal dosage of 3g/L ensures the wine's natural character and chalky minerality shine through. This Champagne presents a golden color with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose offers aromas of toasted hazelnuts, brioche, honeyed tones, baked apple, subtle spice, and a discreet oxidative nuance. On the palate, it is full, deep, and concentrated, almost Burgundian in texture, with pronounced chalky minerality and perfectly integrated acidity. The finish is exceptionally long, dry, and precise, revealing layers of citrus, nutty notes, and a gentle saline touch. Other tasting descriptors include ripe pear, citrus oil, tangerine, stone fruits, warm pastry, crushed nuts, ginger, red apple, toast, pie crust, and lemon zest. 【Exceptional extended lees aging ("Vieillissement Prolongé") for remarkable depth and complexity from Grand Cru vineyards】.
