About Champagne Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Extra Brut Extra Old Extra Brut Non vintage
Bottle (75cl)

In 2013, Champagne House Veuve Clicquot decided as a tribute to Madame Clicquot to create a blend only of vintage reserve wines. It is all the mastery of the house that makes this champagne the Extra Brut Extra Old 2 cuvée.
In 2019, the prestigious Maison Veuve Clicquot has expanded its Extra Brut Extra Old collection with a second assortment. Extra Brut Extra Old 2 consists of eight prestigious reserve wines, aged for five years minimum (1990, 1998, 1999, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012).

In the blending of this champagne, it is the emblematic Pinot Noir (45%) of the house Veuve Clicquot , then its Chardonnay (27%), that gives all the elegance and finesse of a beautifully balanced champagne. The 28% Pinot Meunier concludes the blend.

This champagne Extra Brut Extra Old 2 benefits from a double maturation, of minimum 2 years in tank before blending anad a minimum of 3 years in bottle. This blend is marked by aromatic purity and a silky texture for a bottling in November 2014. Its ageing potential will easily go from 10 to 15 years.

The Extra Brut Extra Old 2 reveals an intense colour with golden aspects and very fine bubbles.
On the nose it is a soft and deep champagne with hints of ripe stone fruit and candied citrus and frangipane.
On the first palate, its brightness and minerality leads to a long and saline finish.

The Extra Brut Extra Old 2 champagne from Maison Veuve Clicquot will go very well with smoked meat, langoustine risotto, foie gras or to finish with a dry cheese.
