TASTING NOTES

Appearance: When poured, Extra Brut Extra Old reveals an intense color, with flashes of gold. Upon being released into a glass, its very fine bubbles create a delicate necklace.

Aroma: The initial nose is impressively intense, with richness and dimension. Ripe stone fruits and delicate yeast can be detected alongside candied citrus, rounded off by the toastiness that is always a hallmark of Veuve Clicquot champagnes.

Taste: On the palate, the attack is strong and smooth. That smoothness, another prized characteristic of the House, is supported by the lighter effervescence that often accompanies older champagnes. The pressure that powers the fine bubbles of Extra Brut, Extra Old is only at 4.5 bars as opposed to the 6 bars of a non-vintage champagne. After the attack, three qualities emerge as poles in the overall structure: purity, length and freshness. In the mouth these unite into a remarkably long finish with flashes of salt.

FOOD PAIRINGS

A beautifully adaptable wine, Extra Brut Extra Old has both the freshness needed as an aperitif, and the depth required to complement a meal. Its flexibility and character make it an ideal accompaniment for both light and delicate foods as well as more rich flavors.
