96 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide):

2009 base vintage; disgorged May 2017; 30% chardonnay, 70% pinot from Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay; 33% 2008, 33% 2007 reserves; aged 80 months on lees; vinified and aged in oak casks; 2g/L dosage. In an age when single-vineyard, single-varietal, single-vintage champagnes are all the rage, it remains that blends triumph most often, even in an estate as tiny as this. Egly’s ‘prolonged ageing’ blend unites three vintages in equal proportions. Power meets effortless calm as three of Champagne’s finest pinot noir crus unite with breathtaking expression. The depth and complexity on display here are a grand testament to the collision of the deep 2009 season, the grandeur of Ambonnay and the exacting precision of Egly. It ripples with mirabelle plums, peaches and all the fanfare of a Parisian boulangerie. For all its complexity, it concludes with sensational tension and focus on an exacting finish of precise minerality that bores to the core of grand cru chalk. A brilliant V.P, albeit without the dazzling minerality or towering magnificence of the 2008 before it. (2020-2021)

96 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous):

"The NV (2013) Extra Brut VP (Viellissement Prolongé) is fabulous. Deep and exquisitely layered in the glass, the 2013-base release marries the pedigree of this late-ripening base year with reserve wines from 2012 and 2011, resulting in a stark, almost austere expression of Pinots from Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay that have been softened gently by eight years on the lees prior to disgorgement. This is a wonderful edition of one of the Egly flagships. Superb. This release is 50% 2013, 30% 2012 and 20% 2011. Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Droml" 2022-2032. (May 2022)"

94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate):

"A 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. Drink: 2022-2037. (Aug 2022)"
