100% Pinot Noir. Blanc de Noirs. This rosé showcases some fruit from the village of Ambonnay in addition to Bouzy. Strawberry and yeast with that forward red fruit immediately present. The palate is very balanced and keeps the exuberance of the nose in check with moderate acidity and an excellent seam of cream. The fruit and presence of this wine seems to call for duck with raspberries.  D&M Tasting Notes

Generous and fine. Another Champagne from Clouet that achieves both structure and opulence yet remains focused. Plenty of bright red fruit and very obviously Pinot Noir. Yet all the pleasure points that make Champagne so special are woven throughout.

 Andre Clouet (NM: Négociant-Manipulant.) The Clouet family were the official printers to Louis XV’s Royal Court, and that attention to filagreed printing is still evident in the work of the current generation. Jean-Francois Clouet is a bit of a showman and takes great pride in his family lineage. He lives in the house his ancestors built in 1741, with the wines cellared below and Jean-Francois living above. From a tasting we did a few months back we also have it on good authority that he quite enjoys Kentucky Bourbon in his down time. The domaine is comprised of 20 acres of Grand Cru vineyards in the middle slopes of the villages of Ambonnay and Bouzy
