Standing out among the vast library of fine releases from Veuve Clicquot is their Extra Old bottlings; a cuvêe collection created solely from a unique blend of their prestigious old reserve wines! With this new third edition, lovers of depth and complexity will be treated to eight separate vintages with one sip of the glass ('90, '98, '99, '08, '09, '12, '13 and '14). The 50% Pinot Noir dominance here too lends that deeply rich structure for which Veuve Clicquot have become so beloved, while the Chardonnay and touch of Meunier help to round out the palate and allow the fine florals and elegance to roll in on the lengthy finish. This will be our champagne special for this week, so jump in and grab hold before this edition is all gone!

"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, this edition 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." - House Notes
