Veuve Clicquot Extra Brut Extra Old - Edition 3 in Gift Box

In 2013, the Cellar Master created a unique blend composed exclusively from reserve wines, in order to express the quintessence of Yellow Label and paying tribute to Madame Clicquot and her innovative and visionary process. Thus, was born the Extra Brut Extra Old cuvée, a particularly singular champagne. 

Edition 3:

True to its expertise in the Art of Blending, Veuve Clicquot enriched its Extra Brut Extra Old collection in 2021 with a new cuvée composed of 8 years selected among its remarkable reserve wines: 1990, 1998, 1999, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2013, and 2014.

A precise Champagne made for wine lovers, this new wine is matured twice. First in vats on fine lees for several years, then in cellars for a further three years before disgorgement, giving it its texture and aromatic complexity. 

On the nose, Extra Brut Extra Old 3 reveals aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits (lemon), white fruits and opens with notes of bread dough and orange peel. The first sip reveals a great freshness on the palate, then comes the complexity and depth. Extra Brut Extra Old 3 has an aging potential of more than 15 years and brings all the precision and liveliness of a rare and complex Champagne.

The third Extra Brut Extra Old blend is composed of eight of the house's most prestigious reserve wines from 1990, 1998, 1999, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2013 and 2014. Each brings its own unique qualities and flavours, and together they offer incomparable complexity and depth.

Extra brut is a drier and more experimental style that showcases the champagne in its more pure state, with a lower dosage to allow the natural flavours and aromas of the blend to shine through.
