Extra-Brut Extra old

The Extra Brut Extra Old from Veuve Clicquot is made exclusively from reserve wines. It takes the essence of the Carte Jaune and shows it in a new light. The blend brings together several vintages, which stand for freshness, fullness and structure. The low dosage of the extra brut category lets these qualities come through clearly.

On the palate it begins powerful and silky. Freshness, minerality and purity then emerge and combine into a long finish with saline notes. The champagne is a fresh aperitif, yet has enough depth for guinea fowl, lobster or suckling pig. Serve it at 9 to 10 °C, not too cold, so that the reserve wine notes can unfold. A large white wine glass gives them the space they need.
