They lend champagnes a special complexity and multi-layered character, and are an elemental component of the House of Clicquot and its flagship Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label. Reserve wines are among Veuve Clicquot's most valuable legacies. With the Champagne Extra Brut Extra Old, Cellar Master Dominique Demarville has created a champagne for which he has exclusively used these excellent reserve wines. The result is a champagne that explores the quintessence of Yellow Label and elevates it to a new level. The vintages of the wines used date back to 1988, making Extra Brut Extra Old a revolutionary champagne that unites the best of almost 30 years of champagne history in one bottle.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Cuvée\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the Veuve Clicquot Extra Brut Extra Old, only reserve wines from the years 1988, 1996, 2006, 2008, 2009, and 2010 were used, each selected for their particular freshness, structure, and richness. Dominique Demarville created this champagne to clearly express the soul of the Yellow Label and to present its complexity and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the tradition of the House of Clicquot, which stands for a long history and expertise in champagne production, all reserve wines used for Extra Brut Extra Old were aged on lees in barrels for at least three years. In addition, all bottles were stored in the wine cellar for another three years after bottling to allow the champagne to develop further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo avoid distorting the richness of Extra Brut Extra Old for the connoisseur, the champagne has a very low dosage of only 3g\/l. Extra Brut Extra Old shares the complexity, richness, and freshness with Yellow Label, and expresses these characteristics even more clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, Extra Brut Extra Old displays an intense color with golden nuances. The very fine perlage forms an elegant chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first impression on the nose convinces with an impressive intensity of richness and facets. Notes of ripe stone fruit and yeast pastry harmonize with an aroma of candied citrus fruits and are rounded off by the typical Clicquot roasted aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bouquet presents power and suppleness. The suppleness, also typical of Veuve Clicquot, is supported by a temperament that often characterizes older vintages. The bottle pressure of Extra Old Extra Brut is only 4.5 bar compared to 6.0 bar for non-vintage champagnes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the initial impression, the structure of the champagne is supported by three pillars: freshness, minerality, and clarity. On the palate, these three characteristics combine to form a long finish with a very subtle salty aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtra Brut Extra Old is a very versatile champagne. Its freshness makes it perfect as an aperitif without losing its ability to accompany an entire meal with its special richness. This flexibility makes the champagne an ideal companion for both light and opulent dishes.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape varieties:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47% Pinot Noir, 27% Chardonnay, 26% Meunier\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Veuve Clicquot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55868123447628,"sku":"4017","price":77.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/7235\/4636\/files\/30643-1074531-1er-Box.jpg?v=1762485962","url":"https:\/\/ka3irg-7v.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/champagne-veuve-clicquot-extra-brut-extra-old-in-geschenkpackung","provider":"Feinste-Weine.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
