Veuve Clicquot Extra Brut Extra Old Serie 5

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 fifth edition of the Extra Brut Extra Old Collection is a blend of reserve wines from 1996, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. 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 an aromatically pure, rich, and vibrant champagne. Citrus aromas of lemon and grapefruit are beautifully complemented by notes of almond and hazelnut, with a subtle influence of toasted bread and brioche. On the palate, this outstanding Champagne is pleasantly fresh, with a delicate, silky texture and an elegant flavor profile dominated by citrus notes, accompanied by subtle spicy hints of white pepper and ginger. Gentle and silky, with nice perlage and aging potential of more than 15 years.
