Grand Cru VP Extra-Brut

The abbreviation VP stands for "Vieillissement Prolongé", extended ageing. The Grand Cru VP Extra-Brut from Egly-Ouriet combines 70% Pinot Noir with 30% Chardonnay, is aged mainly in barrel and spends seven years in the cellar. The dosage is just 1 to 2 g per litre. That keeps the profile dry and powerful, yet finely drawn.

In the glass it shows spicy, smoky aromas and notes of dried fruit. On the palate it feels rich and vinous, with a long, harmonious finish. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a white wine glass or a wide tulip glass so the aromas can unfold. It works as an aperitif and goes with seafood or salty, refined dishes. It can also be served with desserts.
