Superb expression of bubbles made from Pinot Noir! Clouet is a Pinot specialist and this is a seriously good Blanc de Noir (White of Black). Incredible fruit intensity, rich full style with plenty of personality. Heaps going on. Bubbles that you can take beyond an aperitif, it'll happily sit alongside a decent plate of nosh. Available in Magnum!
Amid an ocean of Champagne Rosé this is one of the few that stands out! A Rosé with great poise, well balanced, with a great depth and length of fruit delicious Pinot fruit. No need to rely on excessive sugar to make up for poor fruit here! The texture and spice from the addition of a small percentage of red wine to colour the Rosé is just right adding intrigue and cleansing your palate. Rosé as it should be!
A divine, powerful, Blanc de Blanc from Aÿ, typically a Pinot village. Superb poise, incredible mouthfeel, long and fine. Incredible complexity, this builds in a big glass revealing layer after layer of fruit, patisserie notes, lightly toasted almond, and gentle, refined oxidative hints. This is benchmark gear. It's hard to believe it's only 12% alcohol such is the depth and length of flavour. The Méthod Fabrice Pouillon & 5 years on lees offers us up a seamless wine with wonderful shape,

Will the Pinot seems to be the dominant, as would be expected in the front and mid-palate, the line and length from the Chardonnay and the mineral nature to this
