The Champagne Grand Cru V.P Extra Brut by Egly-Ouriet is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. "V.P." stands for "Vieillissement Prolongé," meaning extended aging on lees for at least 70 months. This technique imparts remarkable complexity and depth of flavor. The cuvée primarily consists of Pinot Noir with a touch of Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts in oak barrels, followed by aging in stainless steel and concrete, without filtration. The low dosage of 2 g/L enhances purity and minerality, making this champagne a benchmark in the wine world.
