The latest addition to the Veuve Clicquot cuvées is sure to arouse curiosity! The prestigious House unveils an Extra-Brut champagne made from a blend of reserve wines only. This extraordinary cuvée is composed of the 1996, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014 vintages! With its magnificent structure, this champagne combines opulence and freshness, intensity and finesse. All the expertise of the House, the creativity and avant-gardism of its Chef de Cave Dominique Demarville, are brought to the fore in the making of this exceptional wine.
Dosed at 3g/L, Extra Brut Extra Old expresses its maturity with purity. Its double ageing of 3 to 27 years before blending, and 6 years after blending the reserve wines, marks its complex, refined identity in the most beautiful of ways.
Intensely golden, its bubbles are very fine, with a pressure of only 4.5 bar instead of the usual 6 bar. The nose is full-bodied and dense, with ripe fruit and candied citrus fragrances. Deep and silky on the palate, its freshness and minerality lead to a long, saline finish.
With an ageing potential of 10 to 15 years, this subtle, full-bodied cuvée can be enjoyed with white meat or noble fish.
