André Clouet Grand Reserve NV

Killer Champagne, creamy and incisive. 6-8g dosage (no austerity) and abv12%, 100% Pinot Noir, 36 months on lees, read on for Andre's outrageous(ly good) tasting note... 

I like to think of the Grande Reserve like a vintage collection of “Greatest Hits”. Imagine being transported by the effervescence of Champagne, letting yourself feel the magic of musical masterpieces as they explode on your palate. Straight No Chaser from Miles Davis, hits your mouth, starting you off with a powerful groove, then, extending into the melodious swing of Come Fly With Me by Frank Sinatra. A bouquet of aromas and flavors come at you like a mash up of Brown Sugar by the Rolling Stones and Desire from U2, melting into the soulful depth of song with Diana Krall and her Cry Me A River. The freshness and tension bounce on your tastebuds with Elvis in Jailhouse Rock, finishing, in the end, with a bittersweet instrumental finale entitled True Sorry by Ibrahim Maalouf.
