Andre Clouet Grande Reserve Brut Champagne

Produced from 100% Pinot Noir grapes. A frothy white mousse slowly disperses to reveal a pale straw to pale gold coloured base that has a very fine and persistent bead. Ripe pear and subtle dried honey aromas are followed by some toasty lees characters with hints of strawberry and brioche as end notes. Racy and tense the palate has pear, yeast lees and citrus flavours supported by stimulating acidity with elements of delicate almond and oily baked bread on the crisp very dry finish. Aftertaste of pear, yeast lees, lightly roasted almond, citrus and baked bread.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 12%

Incredible value for a blanc de noirs (100% Pinot Noir) grower Champagne from the grand cru vineyards of Bouzy. It shows gorgeous aromas of stone fruit, citrus and strawberry, with complex brioche nuances, remarkable balance, ongoing elegance and a rich, refined, persistent finish.

The NV Brut Grand Réserve Grand Cru is a pure Pinot Noir from Bouzy. It's pure, fresh, fine and aromatic on the nose and round and delicate on the palate. The fruit-intense finish is chalky-mineral and stimulatingly fresh in its salty finesse and elegant yeastiness. Nice lemon juice flavors give an extra kick of refreshment. This is a picture-book NV Brut. No indication of disgorgement given. Tasted with Jean-François Clouet's German importer in Bremen.
