The acronym V.P., which stands for Vieillissement Prolongée, refers to a long aging process that helps develop taste breadth and depth. The blend includes a significant portion of reserve wines, and the very low dosage of 2 g\/L maintains a clean, dry, and vertical profile. The territorial soul remains central, with a clear savory imprint and elegant minerality that accompanies the entire sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents with an intense straw yellow, crossed by coppery reflections and a fine, persistent perlage.

On the palate, it is powerful yet harmonious, with a vertical texture and a savory push that gives momentum and precision. The structure is significant but remains balanced by freshness, depth, and a long, refined finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eChampagne V.P.
