The Making of Veuve Clicquot Extra Brut Extra Old 4 Champagne

The Veuve Clicquot Extra Brut Extra Old 4 is a rather singular cuvée. In its fourth edition, it combines the vintages 1996, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2014. With a magnificent structure, it is a champagne that combines opulence and freshness, intensity and finesse. All the know-how of the house, the creativity, and the avant-gardism of its Cellar Master are highlighted in the creation of this exceptional wine.

The blending of grape varieties gives pride of place to Pinot Noir (50%), complemented by Chardonnay (30%) and Pinot Meunier (20%). The dosage of this cuvée is particularly low, with only 3 g/L, classifying it in the Extra Brut category, which allows the purity and precision of the aromas to be revealed.

Its double aging of 3 to 27 years before blending and 6 years after the blending of the reserve wines marks its complex and refined identity in the most beautiful way.
