EXTRA BRUT V.P.
EGLY-OURIET
If you want Champagne that packs a punch whilst retaining its finesse and elegance, look no further. This intense, full-bodied champagne has layer upon layer of texture and flavour - perhaps something to treat yourself to?
- Golden colour; fruity aromas with a nutty hint; great complexity and depth.
- 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay; both varieties are sourced from grand cru villages.
- Cellared for a minimum of seven years before disgorgement; biodynamic to ensure a true expression of terroir.
- Will become more complex over the next five years.
- Such a strong character requires something that will stand up to it; try pairing with some soft cheese.

“The NV Extra Brut V.P. Grand Cru (Vieillissement Prolongé) is a rich, textured Champagne that expresses all of the natural intensity gained after having spent eight years on its lees. Baked apple tart, pastry, spice, chamomile and lightly honeyed notes infuse the V.P. with tremendous flavor complexity to fill out its broad, expansive frame. It is a wine of remarkable depth and vinous intensity. In a word: superb. Disgorged: July, 2020.”
“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.' ”
