Champagne Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru V.P NV Base 10. Disg. Jul 2018

Champagne Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru V.P is the house's Vieillissement Prolongé bottling, held on lees far longer than the standard cuvée.

Egly-Ouriet farms in Ambonnay on the southern slopes of the Montagne de Reims, a grand cru village whose chalk favours Pinot Noir, and that variety leads here with Chardonnay in support. Francis Egly's method is consistent: old vines, low yields, late harvesting, fermentation in barrel and very low dosage. What sets V.P apart is time — the extended lees ageing that gives the wine its depth and its more developed character. This release is a 2010 base disgorged in July 2018.

Drinking well now and worth cellaring further; serve with roast poultry, mushroom dishes or aged comté at 8-10°C.
