About this wine
Veuve Clicquot Extra Brut Extra Old is a dry, layered Champagne that combines Chardonnay’s tension with the structure of Pinot Noir. Expect citrus, apple and chalky mineral notes, alongside more mature brioche, toasted nut and gentle spice from reserve-wine and lees ageing. The exact blend may vary by release, but the style remains energetic, food-friendly and distinctly dry.
