Based in the village of Bouzy, André Clouet is the source of some of the best value examples of Pinot Noir-dominant Champagne. Its Brut Réserve is a delight to drink showcasing delicate red fruits. The dosage is modest, providing for a dry, but not austere, wine that is dangerously drinkable. More please!

Pale silvery yellow in appearance. Fine persistent bubbles. Bright nose of candied red fruits, slightly floral. Dry, elegant, very plush on the palate. Red fruits follow through. Not a great deal of autolysis, but delicious and moreish. Top notch grower fizz.
