Combining the extraordinary creativity of Cellar Master of Veuve Clicquot Champagne House and extensive reserve wine collection, that is also reputed to be one of the largest in Champagne, the Extra Brut Extra Old Collection was created. It is a collection that represents champagnes made as a blend of only the best vintages and aged in a special way.
This fourth edition of the Extra Brut Extra Old Collection is a blend of reserve wines from 1996, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014. With 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier, this blend undergoes a double aging process. Firstly, in vats, before blending, for a minimum of two years and then at least three more in the bottles. The result is champagne characterized by its aromatic purity and rich, vibrant texture. Citrus aromas of lemon and grapefruit are nicely complemented by notes of pear, green tea and plum blossoms, followed by notes of ginger and pastries. Gentle and silky, with nice perlage and aging potential of more than 15 years.
