Veuve Clicquot Extra Brut Extra Old 4 750ml

Extra Brut Extra Old was Veuve Clicquot's first official low-dosage Champagne, launched in 2017, and this is the fourth edition. It is made entirely from reserve wines.

Edition 4 blends six vintages, 1996, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014, in a 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier blend. The reserve wines rest on their lees in tank, then the wine spends at least three years in bottle. The dosage is just 3 grams per liter. Didier Mariotti is the cellar master in Reims.

The cellar master's notes describe linden, honeysuckle, green tea, orchard fruit, citrus and toast, with a powerful, smooth palate, soft bubbles and a long, saline finish.

Against Yellow Label, this is drier and more mature; for a serious aperitif or raw seafood, buy Extra Old.

Serve it at 10 to 12°C with ceviche, tartare or oysters. It can age for more than 15 years.
