Andre Clouet No. 3 Brut Rose Champagne

When it comes to Pinot Noir in Champagne, the grand cru villages of Bouzy and Ambonnay rank amongst the greatest in the region. And one of the most talented exponents from here is the Clouet family based in Bouzy. Champagne Andre Clouet have been producing Champagne for over two centuries, and under the guidance of Jean Francois Clouet the wines have never looked better. While his wines are exuberant and concentrated, Jean Francois manages to counter this with immaculate finesse and detail on the palate.
A fine satiny mousse slowly subsides leaving behind a salmon coloured base that has a very fine and persistent bead coursing through it. Attractive pomegranate and strawberry aromas are intermeshed with yeast lees, baked bread and chalky mineral notes. Full and expansive across the palate, strawberry, yeast lees, raspberry and water melon flavours are sculptured by chalky, mineral infused acidity. Nervy feel. Finishes very dry and refreshingly tense.
Alc. 12%

Other Reviews…..
A frank, generous and juicy but properly dry rosé champagne that has plenty of pinot noir red-berry character. Enough substance to easily handle the dining table. Long and bright, berry and citrus finish. 100% pinot noir, of which 8% was red wine. Drink now.
