Champagne Extra Brut Extra Old 3
Extra Brut Extra Old
Extra Brut Extra Old is a cuvée collection crafted from a unique blend of prestigious old reserve wines.
THE BLEND
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.
Tasting notes
The aromatic purity of the Extra Brut Extra Old 3 cuvée is best enjoyed when paired with a balanced cuisine full of freshness: vegetables with fresh fruits, iodized ingredients such as fresh seaweed with crustaceans, or with fresh herbs.
