Description
The Veuve Clicquot Extra Brut Extra Old champagne is the new innovative champagne from champagne house Veuve Clicquot. The wine is called Extra Brut because the dosage is limited to 3 grams of sugar per liter (read: less sugar). This amount achieved the optimal balance between crisp purity and creamy softness. You also experience both dimensions with every sip of this champagne. For comparison: regular champagne from Veuve Clicquot has a dosage of 10 grams per liter. The name Extra Old comes because this is a special assembly of 8 different reserve wines: 1990, 1998, 1999, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2013 and 2014. After 3 years in barrel, this unique composition has undergone an additional 3 years of maturation (in a total of 6 years) and after the disgorgement the champagne was given an extra year of rest.
Veuve Clicquot Extra Brut Extra Old has a carbon dioxide pressure of 4.5 bar. For comparison: a regular champagne bottle has a pressure of 6 bar. It makes the Extra Old Extra Brut a bit more refined in terms of mouthfeel. It is a multivintage or nonvintage champagne (100% reserve wines) with a good storage potential. This Veuve Cliquot Extra Brut Extra old is therefore the 3ème Cuvée

Champagne with a story that never gets old. Veuve Clicquot is so much more than a yellow label.
History of Veuve Clicquot
The story starts in 1772, when Philippe Clicquot founded his champagne house in Reims. But true fame came later, thanks to Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin. She married François Clicquot, who sadly passed away at a young age. At just 27 years old, she took control of the house. In an era where women rarely ran businesses, she made her mark. She became known as “La Veuve Clicquot” – the Widow Clicquot – and grew into an icon of the champagne world.
Under her leadership, the modern method of making champagne bright and sparkling was refined. She introduced the technique of remuage, where bottles are slowly turned so that the sediment collects in the neck. A simple yet brilliant idea that made champagne famous around the world.
Vineyards and location
Veuve Clicquot owns more than 390 hectares of vineyards in Champagne. That’s special, as many houses buy most of their grapes. The vineyards are spread across the best cru villages, including Bouzy, Verzenay and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier are the main grapes here. Together they shape the house style: powerful, fresh and structured.
Most of the vineyards are planted with Pinot Noir. It gives the wines their recognizable depth and character. Chardonnay adds freshness and finesse, while Meunier brings a touch of fruitiness.
Climate and terroir
Champagne sits in the north of France. Summers are cool, winters are mild, and the climate can be unpredictable. Perfect for grapes that shouldn’t get too ripe. The soil is mainly chalk and limestone, which offers great drainage and a mineral edge in the wines. Combined with the changing seasons, this results in grapes with tension and freshness – exactly what champagne needs.
Fun facts about Veuve Clicquot
- The famous “Yellow Label” was introduced in 1877 and became the instant signature of the house.
- Veuve Clicquot was the first champagne exported worldwide, from Russia to the United States.
- In 2010, 168 bottles of 19th century Veuve Clicquot were found in the Baltic Sea – still drinkable and remarkably fresh.
- The house owns one of the largest chalk cellars in Reims, endless tunnels where millions of bottles quietly age.
