Andre Clouet Champagne Brut Grand Reserve
Regular price $49.98
This réserve cuvée is made of 100% Pinot Noir. Initially showing a very fresh bouquet of high toned fruits with hints of hazelnuts and yeasty aromas, this cuvée yields to the highly structured red fruit notes on the palate that the area is famed for. Long lees aging, low dosage and Grand Cru Pinot Noir fruit combine for an opulent yet balanced Champagne.
Jean-François Clouet, who was born and raised in Bouzy, still lives in the 17th century village house built by his ancestors. As his family were the official printers to Louis XV’s Royal Court at Versailles, Jean-Francois takes great pride in his family lineage. He is also well aware of the influence his family has contributed to the grand and tumultuous history of the region. Acknowledging the privilege and significance of his standing, he strives to continually improve upon the estate and wines by drawing from its past as well as implementing changes that ultimately improve the quality of his wines.
The domaine’s 8ha (20 acres) of Grand Cru vineyards are situated in the coveted middle slopes of Ambonnay and Bouzy. They make a full range of Champagnes, culminating in the glorious Cuvée 1911, which is comprised of 100% Pinot Noir from Clouet’s ten best lieux-dits in Bouzy.
