Lot #8. Egly-Ouriet V. P. Vieillissement Prolongé Extra Brut NV

Description: Consists of 6 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 95 AG.
"The NV Extra Brut Grand Cru V.P. (Vieillissement Prolongé), Egly-Ouriet's from Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay, is stellar. A towering, deeply expressive wine, the V.P. possesses stunning depth to match its spherical, textured personality. As is the custom here, the V.P. spent 76 months on its lees, yet it remains vibrant, poised and deeply refreshing. A host of chalk, white pepper, dried rose petal and red stone fruits wrap around the intense finish. Aging in oak shapes the wine beautifully here. What a gorgeous Champagne this is. The blend is 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay." Vinous, Nov 2015
Provenance: The Analemma Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $425
