97 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(2014 base vintage; disgorged July 2022; tasted in 2023 in Australia; 70% pinot noir, 30% chardonnay from Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay; 2014 base vintage; aged 7 years on lees; disgorged July 2022; 3g/L dosage). The energy and freshness of 2014 are transcendental in the hands of Egly, driving a magic palate of citrus zest freshness and strawberry hull tang, bathed in the brilliant chalk minerality that only Ambonnay can achieve. This is a blend of monumental energy and stamina, with a huge future before it! Epic VP.
96 points/'Le Coup de Coeur,' La Revue du Vin de France: "On a 2015 base and after 87 months on lees, VP reveals a magnificent wine, endowed with great complexity. On the palate, it imposes its diffused power at the heart of a beautiful energy.
95 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "The NV Champagne Grand Cru VP Viellisement Prolongent Extra Brut (which I believe is based on the 2014 vintage, with 2012 and 2013 reserve wine) is expressive and elegant with ripe pineapple, lemon custard, and white flowers. The mousse is elegant, and it’s long on the palate, with another level of refinement and precision. There’s more focus here, with great length and a wonderful and balanced savory edge. At this stage, it still feels like it would benefit from more time in bottle. Drink 2024-2042. This spent 7 years on the lees before disgorgement. Drink: 2024-2042.
