A new approach for this producer, this Champagne is almost dry and has also had six years' aging before release. The result is a taut, nervy and well-structured wine that is wonderfully crisp. Great acidity and citrus flavors add to the effect. Drink now.. When poured, Extra Brut Extra Old reveals an intense color, with flashes of gold. Upon being released into a glass, its very fine bubbles create a delicate necklace.The initial nose is impressively intense, with richness and dimension. Ripe stone fruits and delicate yeast can be detected alongside candied citrus, rounded off by the toastiness that is a signature of Veuve Clicquot Champagnes. On the palate, the initial taste is powerful and smooth.ย
The collectionโs first premium cuvรฉe was introduced in 2017. It assembles six years of Veuve Clicquotโs finest reserve wines, chosen for their freshness, generosity and structure: Cramant 1988, Aube 1996, Verzy 2006, Villers-Marmery 2008, Aรฟ 2009 and Ville-Dommange 2010.
Pinot Noir dominates the blend (55%) and provides the structure that is so typically Clicquot, followed by Chardonnay (33%) that adds finesse and elegance essential in a perfectly balanced wine, and then Meunier (20%) that rounds out the blend. The ageing potential is more than 15 years.
