Andre Clouet Grande Réserve Brut Champagne Grand Cru 'Bouzy' NV (750 ml) Esino

Andre Clouet Grande Réserve Brut Champagne Grand Cru 'Bouzy' NV (750 ml) EsinoThe Andre Clouet Grand Cru Reserve NV is 100% Pinot Noir, and entirely from the village of Bouzy. Apple butter, scones, marzipan, orange peel, granny smith, clay, and some baking spices towards nutmeg and clove. The palate is more moderate in weight with golden apples, some clotted cream, and a light hit of citrus. A touch lighter than the last time we put this forth in a club, but still showing quite a bit of Pinot character.

The palate is marked by a velvety tannin that gives it the elegance of this wine as well as having a very attractive aftertaste
