✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Veuve Clicquot's Extra Brut Extra Old 4 represents the ultimate expression of the house's blending heritage, drawing from their legendary library of reserve wines. This unique multi-vintage cuvée is crafted exclusively from prestigious reserve years, selected for their complexity and freshness. The blend primarily features Pinot Noir for structure, complemented by Chardonnay for elegance and Meunier for roundness. Madame Clicquot, the 'Grande Dame of Champagne' who revolutionized the region with the invention of the riddling table, championed the use of reserve wines to ensure consistency. For this cuvée, the wines are aged on their lees in vats for several years before undergoing a second prolonged aging period in the bottle after disgorgement. With a very low dosage, this wine showcases a pure, mineral-driven expression of Champagne's chalky terroir, balanced by rich, autolytic notes of toasted brioche, ripe citrus, and candied fruits.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Veuve Clicquot blev grundlagt i Reims i 1772 af Philippe Clicquot, men opnåede for alvor global berømmelse under Madame Clicquots visionære lederskab. Den legendariske »Grande Dame de la Champagne« overtog huset i 1805 og revolutionerede branchen med skelsættende nyskabelser som opfindelsen af pultrebrættet (la table de remuage) og fremstillingen af den første blendede rosé-champagne. Huset har dermed sat et uudsletteligt præg på den moderne mousserende vinhistorie. Med rødder i Champagnes fornemste terroirs dyrker ejendommen en Pinot Noir-domineret stil, der forener strukturel styrke og fylde med en rank og vedvarende friskhed. I dag hører champagnehuset under LVMH-gruppen og er verdenskendt for sin ikoniske Yellow Label Brut samt prestigeserier som La Grande Dame og de eksklusive årgangsvine i Cave Privée-serien.
