Egly-Ouriet, VP Vieillissement Prolonge Extra Brut Vintage:N.V. Glistening violetA benchmark bottling that's a staple of my cellar, newly disgorged Egly's NV Extra Brut Grand Cru V. P. is a blend of the 2014, 2013 and 2012 vintages. Wafting from the glass with scents of pear, freshly baked bread, nougat, praline and clear honey, it's medium to full bodied, satiny and concentrated, with racy acids, chalky structure and a long, penetrating finish. Readers won't want to miss it.
