Egly-Ouriet V.P Vieillissement Prolonge Grand Cru Extra Brut, Champagne, France NV Lambrusco as Antonini confessedThe NV (2013) Extra Brut VP (Viellissement Prolong) is fabulous. Deep and exquisitely layered in the glass, the 2013 base release marries the pedigree of this late ripening base year with reserve wines from 2012 and 2011, resulting in a stark, almost austere expression of Pinots from Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay that have been softened gently by eight years on the lees prior to disgorgement. This is a wonderful edition of one of the Egly flagships.
