A Blend of Eight Vintages from 1990 to 2012

From Veuve Clicquot, the Champagne house that has captivated people since its founding in 1772, comes the "Veuve Clicquot Extra Brut Extra Old Series 2," the second collection blend following 2013.

"Extra Brut Extra Old" is a Champagne that expresses the essence of the Yellow Label, luxuriously blended solely from reserve wines to honor the innovative and forward-thinking reforms of Madame Clicquot, who took over the management of the house in 1805.

For this "Veuve Clicquot Extra Brut Extra Old Series 2," eight vintages from 1990 to 2012, selected for their freshness and aromatic complexity, were aged for over two years in wooden vats. It was then cellared for three years and received an extremely small dosage.

The taste immediately opens with elegant aromas reminiscent of candied citrus, and as the wine breathes, notes of rich almond paste and acacia honey emerge. It is well-balanced, with a delicate, rising effervescence that is gentle, and a silky smooth texture with rich aromas.

This Champagne is the culmination of craftsmanship by Veuve Clicquot's Cellar Master and symbolizes the house's spirit of "innovation." It is a bottle that allows one to experience the true essence of Veuve Clicquot.
