NPU is only produced in the greatest vintages from the finest fruit of 4 Grands Crus. Fermentation is in small wooden barrels, from which only the best barrels make the final assemblage. It is aged for 10 years on lees before disgorgement with minimal dosage. The 2002 is a phenomenal release which combines the power and freshness of the vintage with the nuance and structure of bottle aging. Exceptional.

Vinous
The 2002 Extra Brut N.P.U. Nec Plus Ultra is one of the last wines to be released in this vintage. Rich, ample and resonant on the palate, the N.P.U. offers plenty of immediacy and depth. Vinification and aging in barrel gives the N.P.U. considerable textural breadth and volume to the apricot, baked apple, vanillin and sweet French oak flavors, along with distinctly oxidative, burnished overtones. Disgorged: September 2014.Antonio Galloni1st December 2017
