Average Critic Score: 95.0/100 based on 4 critic reviews
Egly-Ouriet of Ambonnay is widely regarded as the finest grower-producer in Champagne, making deep, vinous wines from Grand Cru Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. V.P. stands for Vieillissement Prolonge, prolonged ageing, and the NV Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru V.P. Extra Brut Champagne spends years longer on its lees than the house's standard Brut, gaining remarkable richness and complexity. It earned 97 points from James Suckling, 96 points from Antonio Galloni (Vinous), 94 points from Wine Spectator and 93 points from Kristaps Karklins (Wine Advocate).
Stunning aromas of pie crust, lightly cooked apples and Asian pears. Full-bodied with lots of lovely rich fruit, spices and nuts. The finish is so intense, showing toasted bread and gorgeous salted butter, that it goes on for minutes. - James Suckling (97 pts)
Suggested drinking window: now through 2036 (Wine Spectator).
Critic Reviews
97 Points - James Suckling
“Stunning aromas of pie crust, lightly cooked apples and Asian pears. Full-bodied with lots of lovely rich fruit, spices and nuts. The finish is so intense, showing toasted bread and gorgeous salted butter, that it goes on for minutes. Seven years on the lees. Dosage 3 g/L. Drink now.”
96 Points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
“The NV (2017) Extra Brut V.P. Grand Cru (Vieillissement Prolonge) is another stellar wine in this set of new releases from Egly-Ouriet. Rich, creamy and ample from 84 months on its lees, the 2017-base V.P. is immediately alluring. White peach, flowers, chalk and a hint of spice all build beautifully. The V.P. is quite rich, yet it also remains wonderfully light on its feet. Needless to say, that's an extremely appealing combination. This is pure seduction. Dosage is 2 grams per liter. Disgorged: July 2025.”
94 Points - Wine Spectator
“An enticing Champagne, fragrant with spice, ripe fruit and pastry notes. This is satinlike on the palate, with its refined, creamy mousse supporting a layered profile of creme de cassis, blood orange coulis, apple strudel, walnut oil, crystallized honey and pickled ginger flavors. The rich profile is brightened by a spine of well-meshed, vivid acidity, leaving a mouthwatering impression on the long, long finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged November 2025. Drink now through 2036. 12 cases imported.”
93 Points - Kristaps Karklins, Wine Advocate
“Based on the 2018 vintage and disgorged in May 2026 with a dosage of two grams per liter after seven years on the lees in the bottle, Egly's NV Grand Cru V.P. bursts from the glass with aromas of yellow apple, pear, fresh bread and quince. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, ample and textural, with incisive acidity, concluding with a long, chalky, green apple-tinged finish. Readers will require little additional motivation, as it remains one of the most reliable wines in the range, even if it does not quite attain the depth of the Blanc de Noirs Les Crayeres.”
