Veuve Clicquot Extra Brut Extra Old is made only of reserve wines from the years 1988 1996 2006 2008 2009 and 2010 chosen for their freshness generosity and structure. Dominique Demarville created this blend to capture the spirit of Yellow Label rendering it with a vibrancy depth and purity."

John Gilman: 93 Points

Disgorged 06/16. There’s lovely precision to this wine. It’s bright and citrussy but there’s also some pear and peach richness a touch of red cherry a hint of cream and subtle toast. All blends together with lovely finesse. It’s tight and fruit focused but it also has some savoury maturity in the background. I love the contrasts here with high acidity and linearity complemented by the notes of maturity. Really gastronomic and structural this is quite serious and austere and is quite a contrast to the richness regular Veuve NV although the family resemblance is there from the reserve wines which feature quite prominently in the NV. 93/100
