A gorgeous red

a mouth-filling Pinot Gris

Otherwise there is a refined yet solidly powerful mouthfeel to the medium weight flavors that also exude evident minerality on the impressively long and well-balanced finale

This is robust but not rustic or austere and should reward longer-term cellaring

Egly-Ouriet, VP Vieillissement Prolonge Extra Brut Vintage:N.V. A gorgeous redA benchmark bottling that's a staple of my cellar, newly disgorged Egly's NV Extra Brut Grand Cru V. P. is a blend of the 2014, 2013 and 2012 vintages. Wafting from the glass with scents of pear, freshly baked bread, nougat, praline and clear honey, it's medium to full bodied, satiny and concentrated, with racy acids, chalky structure and a long, penetrating finish. Readers won't want to miss it.
