Reviews & Scores
A strikingly pretty and complex nose combines notes of toast, strong yeast, baked apple and soft citrus nuances. There is equally good complexity to the delicious and notably rich flavors that are supported by a vibrant effervescence while delivering very fine length on the sappy and very dry finish that avoids austerity. This is a really lovely effort that is drinking perfectly well now though one that should continue to hold. In a word, excellent. - BH

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. - JR

The NV (2015) Extra Brut VP (Viellissement Prolongé) is a gorgeous wine. After 84 months in the cellar and almost a year post-disgorgement, the 2015 base is ready to offer plenty of pleasure. Tangerine peel, dried orange peel, spice, mint, apricot and lightly honeyed notes all develop effortlessly. The 2015 is not an especially rich V.P. but it has plenty to offer. Dosage is 2 grams per liter. Disgorged: 七月 2023. - VM

As usual, the latest disgorgement of Egly's NV Extra-Brut Grand Cru V.P., this year based on the 2015 vintage complemented by reserve wines from 2014 and 2013, is one of the highlights of the range. Wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, green apple, freshly baked bread, crushed mint, honeycomb, white flowers and praline, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with a racy and concentrated core, a pretty pinpoint mousse and a long, saline finish. - WA
