Description
Pale yellow in color, with a slow yet steady cordon of fine bubbles. The nose is intense, classic, and elegant, with subtle yeast notes. Floral aromas of wild rose combine with a vinous quality, accompanied by fresh fruit notes of apricot, lychee, mango, and a hint of green plum. On the palate, the wine is harmonious and fresh, finishing with a copious, long-lasting impression. This Champagne pairs beautifully with food, especially poultry or fish.
The Brut Grand Cru is a blend crafted with Bouzy Pinot Noir and a touch of Chardonnay from Chouilly—two highly esteemed Grand Cru villages. The Pinot Noir imparts structure and intensity, while the Chardonnay contributes subtlety and finesse to the wine.
Primary fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, preserving the wine's fruit and freshness. Following this, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, adding body and character. After bottling, it is aged on the lees for 36 months. Post-disgorgement, the bottles rest for a minimum of 3 months to allow the wine to settle and harmonize with the dosage, delivering ultimate balance and freshness.

Founded in 1907, Champagne Paul Clouet is one of the most respected houses in the Grand Cru village of Bouzy, some of the best terroir for Pinot Noir in the Montagne de Reims. Today Clouet owns lands in Bouzy and a smaller amount in Chouilly and Ambonnay on the Cote des Blancs where they source their Chardonnay fruit.
Bouzy and Ambonnay were both classed as Grands Crus in the early 20th century, just after the Champagne Riots of 1910-11, two of the 12 villages granted the designation. In 1985, five more villages including Chouilly were added to the Grand Cru designation. They are considered at the very pinnacle of Champagne terroir for the Montagne and the Cote des Blancs
