✨ Technical Specifications
Veuve Clicquot's Extra Brut Extra Old 2 is a masterclass in the art of blending, a concept pioneered by the legendary Madame Clicquot herself in the 19th century. This unique multi-vintage cuvée is crafted exclusively from the house's prestigious collection of reserve wines, drawing from select historical years chosen for their complexity, structure, and freshness. The blend is dominated by Pinot Noir, providing the signature Clicquot strength and structure, complemented by elegant Chardonnay and fruit-forward Meunier. These reserve wines are aged for a minimum of three years in vats on their lees, followed by another three years of bottle aging post-disgorgement. With an exceptionally low dosage of 3 grams per liter, this Extra Brut expression reveals a pure, intense, and mineral-driven profile, combining the depth of maturity with vibrant energy.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot in Reims, Veuve Clicquot rose to global prominence under the visionary leadership of Madame Clicquot, the legendary Grande Dame of Champagne who took control of the house in 1805. Renowned for transformative innovations including the creation of the riddling table and the development of the first blended rosé Champagne, the Maison has shaped modern sparkling winemaking history. Anchored in premier terroirs across Champagne, the estate champions a Pinot Noir-dominant philosophy that delivers structural power, richness, and enduring freshness. Today, part of the LVMH group, the house is celebrated globally for its iconic Yellow Label Brut as well as prestige expressions like La Grande Dame and the vintage Cave Privée series.
