Veuve Clicquot Extra Brut Extra Old Serie Four is a blend that showcases the rich heritage of the house, utilizing an impressive assemblage of older reserve wines. This release emphasizes the house`s signature style, displaying a maturity achieved through aging in the cellar, contributing to complexity and depth. The blend is composed primarily of Pinot Noir, complemented by Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, reinforcing the elegant structure typical of Veuve Clicquot.

On the palate, it reveals notes of citrus, dried fruits, and subtle toasty undertones, balanced by a refreshing minerality. The dosage of only six grams of sugar enhances the overall dryness and highlights the wine`s intricate flavors. This Extra Brut style is a tribute to the house`s commitment to quality and tradition, allowing the nuances of its aged components to shine through. The wine is well-suited for food pairing, enhancing both appetizers and main dishes alike.

One of the most interesting wines in the Veuve Cliquot portfolio is the NV Extra-Brut Extra Old, a blend of reserve wines from 2010 back to 1988—though the latter only represents some 2% of the assemblage—that spent three years in foudre before tirage, followed by three years sur lattes before disgorgement. Opening in the glass with a complex bouquet of toasted nuts, candied peel, orchard fruit, peach and smoke, it`s medium to full-bodied, rich and saline, with a textural profile, lively acids and a long finish. - William Kelley

The 'Grande Dame' of Champagne

Founded in Reims in 1772, Veuve Clicquot is one of the largest Champagne houses. The famous Madame Clicquot is credited with many innovations during her tenure as head of the house in the early 1800s - introducing vintage-dated Champagne, inventing the process of riddling to ensure a clearer wine and developing the rosé Champagne produced through blending. Madame Clicquot is also credited with helping to popularise Champagne with high society in Europe during the Napoleonic wars.

The non-vintage is fresh and crisp with ripe fruit balancing citrussy zing while the vintage offerings are richer, fuller and more complex with notes of toasted brioche, almond and crushed green apple. La Grande Dame is the house's prestige cuvée - made only in exceptional years, the Champagne is produced using wines selected from Veuve Clicquot's Grand Cru vineyard holdings.
