Description

The successor to the Rosé No.3 is equally fabulous! The wine’s colour is immediately seductive, with its delicate hue of subtly intense light pink, evoking all the nobility of Pinot Noir de Bouzy. The nose is expressive and charming, revealing floral aromas mingled with a palette of candied red fruits and English sweets, enhanced by a saline, almost iodized touch, which is the hallmark of the house’s mineral freshness. On the palate, the attack is lively and invigorating. Red berries – strawberry, cherry, raspberry – explode with greed, while Pinot Noir spices add structure and complexity.

Why is this Wine so Yummy?

Having worked in Champagne, seen behind the closed doors I know a fair few of the tricks of the trade. It’s refreshing when you come across someone like Jean-Francois Clouet who will openly discuss the tricks and is willing to stand by his wines. I explore the exceptional and ugly in the Wine Bites Mag article “Vintage 1998 Champagne Devaux, Bur-sur-Seine and Les Gras et Haas, Chouilly in the Côte des Blancs”

It’s fair to say Jean-Francois Clouet was born in a bath of Pinot, suckled on Blanc de Noir, and, grew up pour it on his corn flakes! His family was making wine a decade before Möet et Chandon’s Dom Perignon. Not long ago Bollinger rang to “enquire” read complain about Clouet’s labels ripping off their designs. After a quick look it turned out to be the other way around by decades!

Where in Champagne are Clouet’s Vineyards

Based in Bouzy with vineyards in both Bouzy and Ambonnay. The villages rest to the south of Reims and north of Épernay. Clouet is a Pinot master! Bouzy is home to many of the best Pinot growing sites in Champagne.

Pinot Noir from Ambonnay, Montagne de Reims

André Clouet Silver Brut Nature NV

Zero dosage wines have nowhere to hide! They simply must stand on their own two feet! The depth of fruit flows full length of your tongue finding it's way through juicy mineral acid of great length. The incredible purity of the wine is strikes instantly. As it warms a little the expression of Pinot comes through and you realise just how necessary the acid is in order to tame the rich fruit. Available in Magnum!

The Fabrice Session 🎧 & 🎥 Inside!

Chardonnay from Aÿ, Vallée de la Marne

R.Pouillon ‘Les Terres Froides’ Premier Cru NV

Often in the 'Pro' wine circles, you're asked to nail your banner to a mast in a blind tasting. Although a Chardonnay, Fabrice has fooled, without malice, many a Champenois, who has called this wine a Pinot. It's not so much the flavours, but, the body, richness, and, mid-palate power that this wine offers that can confuse.In the end, all of this is irrelevant. What you have in front of you is a wine of purity, line, length, excellent acid, with lovely ripe flavours, a little pith and grapef
