ANDRE CLOUET DREAM VINTAGE 2016

Style: Rocks & Minerals

Bouzy and Ambonnay are the epicentre of pinot noir in Champagne, and the Clouet family is the priviledged custodian of eight hectares of estate vines in the best middle slopes of both villages. These are rich and concentrated expressions of pinot noir, wines of deep complexity, multi faceted interest and engaging character, yet with remarkable restraint and sense of control. Recent tastings confirm that this small and relatively unknown grower ranks high among Champagne's finest practitioners of pinot noir - and expresses one of the best value of all. PWS

The Dream Vintage collection is a masterful gourmet retrospective dedicated to the great vintages of Champagne. The equipment is reminiscent of the great Cadillac classics : Fiesta Red, Chrystal Green, Ebony Black and other colors that make big dreams come true. Spring 2016 was cool and wet, delaying the vine¿s vegetative cycle. However, the warm, sunny summer allowed the grapes to ripen to perfection. Harvesting began at the end of September under favourable conditions, with sunny days and cool nights, preserving the grapes¿ natural acidity. The grapes harvested were healthy and well-balanced, with a good concentration of aromas and sugar. ANDRE CLOUET
