Tasting notes
Aroma
Rich and strikingly aromatic, radiating baked yellow apple, toasted brioche, and orange marmalade before opening into hazelnut, mineral dust, and dried apricot.
Palate
Broad and vinous on the palate. Concentrated orchard fruit and candied citrus blend into fine, creamy bubbles, leading to a long, crisp finish.

In Detail
Pure Grand Cru Pinot Noir harvested from Champagne’s premier south-facing limestone slopes
Hailing from the legendary Grand Cru village of Bouzy, Domaine André Clouet represents the benchmark for 100% Pinot Noir Champagne. Headed by the charismatic Jean-François Clouet, whose family has owned vineyards in the region since 1741, this historic estate specializes in crafting opulent, vinous Blanc de Noirs from Champagne’s most prized red grape terroir.
Sourced entirely from limestone-rich Grand Cru slopes, the Grande Réserve blends multiple vintages using a perpetual solera reserve method matured in deep 17th-century cellars. This labor-intensive maturation imparts exceptional depth and complex autolytic character without sacrificing the vibrant minerality and bright citrus focus that define top-tier Bouzy terroir.
Deeply golden and impeccably balanced, this iconic cuvée offers the weight, texture, and nobility usually reserved for vintage Tête de Cuvée bottlings. Crisp enough to pair with fresh oysters yet rich enough to anchor roasted duck or aged Gruyère, it stands as one of the single greatest values in all of Grand Cru Champagne.
