Champagne André Clouet
A winemaking family of more than two centuries, the founder was a printer in Louis XV's court of Versailles.The style of the stunning labels reflects their heritage.
Bouzy and Ambonnay are the epicentre of pinot noir in Champagne, and the Clouet family is the privileged custodian of eight hectares of estate vines in the best middle slopes of both villages. The wines are cellared under the family’s 17th century village house.
These are rich and concentrated expressions of pinot noir, wines of deep complexity, multifaceted interest and engaging character, yet with remarkable restraint and sense of control. Tasting after tasting confirm my impression that this small and relatively unknown grower ranks high among Champagne’s finest practitioners of pinot noir – and represents one of the best value of all.
