An intense colour, with golden highlights. As soon as it is released in a glass, its very fine bubbles draw a refined necklace.
On the nose
The first nose shows richness and amplitude. Ripe stone fruit aromas and a delicate yeasty note emerge alongside candied lemon aromas, all wrapped in the signature crispness of Veuve Clicquot Champagne.
In the mouth
The attack is both powerful and silky. Another major asset of the Champagne House, this softness is underlined by a very light effervescence which often accompanies the oldest Champagnes: the pressure which provokes the fine bubbles of Extra brut extra old is only 4.5 bar instead of the usual 6 bar of non-vintage Champagnes.
Extra Brut Extra Old lends itself magnificently to all occasions. This champagne has both the freshness of an aperitif and the depth required to pair with a dish. This versatility, as well as its character, makes it the ideal companion for delicate and subtle dishes as well as for more pronounced flavours.
To appreciate all its finesse and aromas, champagne should be enjoyed chilled (but not iced). Depending on the cuvée, the ideal serving temperature is between 8 and 12°C.
Like all wines, champagne can be kept for varying lengths of time, depending on the type. Under optimal storage conditions, champagne can be kept for 1 to 2 years for Brut cuvées, and up to 4/5 years or even longer for vintage and prestige champagnes. Whatever happens, rest assured that you'll never be able to open your champagne too early, as the Champagne Houses only release their cuvées when they have reached perfect ripeness and are ready for immediate consumption.
47% Pinot Noir, 26% Pinot Meunier, 27% Chardonnay.
Veuve Clicquot’s Extra Brut Extra Old cuvée contains exclusively reserve wines from the 1988, 1996, 2006, 2009 and 2010 vintages, chosen for their freshness, opulence and structure. The Cellar Master has imagined this blend, embodying the spirit of the Cuvée Carte Jaune, emblematic of the House, by giving it intensity, depth and purity. The wines at the heart of Extra Brut Extra Old are aged for at least three years in vats, on their lees. This is followed by a second maturation in the bottle, where Extra Brut Extra Old blossoms in the cellar for three years before disgorging.
