Producer's Notes: 

Veuve Clicquot presents the fifth edition of its Extra Brut Extra Old. Expressing the ultimate creativity of our Cellar Master, Extra Brut Extra Old is a unique collection crafted exclusively from our reserve wine collection, one of the largest recorded in Champagne.

This fifth edition of Extra Brut Extra Old is a blend of seven of Veuve Clicquot’s most prestigious reserve wines, from the years 1996, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.

This cuvée was crafted through a double aging process: first, the reserve wines are matured in vats on fine lees, then aged in bottle “on lattes” for at least three years, until disgorgement, to achieve perfect harmony.

Much like the creation of a perfume, the essence of these “mature” or “spicy” reserve wines brings texture and complexity to the blend.
