Winemaker Notes

Veuve Clicquot presents the fourth edition of its Extra Brut Extra Old.
Expressing the ultimate creativity of our Cellar Master, Extra Brut Extra Old is a unique collection crafted exclusively from our reserve wine collection, one of the largest recorded in Champagne.

Just like the creation of a perfume, the essence of such mature or, as called, “spices” reserve wines will bring concentration and depth to the blend. The Precision, energy and balance of Veuve Clicquot Extra Brut Extra Old 4 will be best appreciated with balanced and fresh cuisine, from raw vegetables to tartares and seafood.

The 4th edition of Extra Brut Extra Old is a unique blend of six of Veuve Clicquot’s most prestigious reserve wines: 1996, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

The wines are aged in bottle in Maison’s crayères for a minimum of three years before disgorgement, giving it texture and aromatic complexity. This blend requires a low dosage of 3 grams of sugar per liter.

Aromas: Tilia, honeysuckle, green tea, citrus fruits (grapefruit, lemon), orchard fruits (pear, mirabelle plum), ginger, bread dough and saline, mineral.

Blend: 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and 20% Pinot Meunier.
