Champagne André Clouet Brut Grande Réserve is a prestigious grower Champagne from the Grand Cru village of Bouzy in the Montagne de Reims subregion of France. The estate is led by Jean-François Clouet, whose ancestors served as the official printers to Louis XV's Royal Court at Versailles, a heritage reflected in the wine's intricate label design. The family's winemaking philosophy combines deep respect for tradition—utilizing ancient chalk cellars that once hid bottles during World War II—with a commitment to low-dosage, high-purity Pinot Noir-focused wines.
Wine Description
This 100% Pinot Noir (Blanc de Noirs) presents a bright golden-yellow colour with fine, persistent bubbles. The sensory profile is rich and multi-layered:
Aroma: The nose is effusive and fresh, showing high-toned notes of candied citrus, ripe pear, apricot, and strawberry, interwoven with complex nuances of hazelnut, brioche, and yeasty blossom honey.
Palate: It is round, creamy, and generous, delivering highly structured red fruit flavours such as cherry and raspberry alongside hints of spice and wild honey.
Structure & Body: The wine is medium- to full-bodied with a taut acid structure and a silky mouthfeel that balances opulence with refined elegance.
Finish: The finish is long and stimulatingly fresh, marked by a chalky minerality and a salty finesse.
Technical Details: This non-vintage cuvée includes approximately 30% reserve wines and is aged for a minimum of 36 to 48 months on the lees. It typically has a dosage of 6g/L to 8g/L and an ABV of 12%. Farming is generally described as conventional or following organic practices.
Food Pairing
The vinous and structured character of this Champagne makes it a highly versatile companion for food. It pairs exceptionally well with:
Seafood: Oysters, lobster, scallops, and ceviche or sashimi.
Main Courses: Poultry, white meats, and creamy pasta dishes or mushroom risotto.
Starters: Fine appetizers, sushi, and savoury pastries.
Dessert: Some enthusiasts recommend pairing it with fruit-based desserts like tarte tatin.
