| Andre Clouet Champagne 1911 $95 bottle
100% Pinot Noir
“1911” is a non-vintage blend comprised of wines from 3 vintages: 50% from 2004, 25% from 2007, and 25% from 2008, all of which are made from Grand Cru Bouzy estate-grown fruit. 50% of the wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks, the other 50% was fermented in Sauternes barrels. The name “1911” is given for the number of bottles produced annually of this elegant blend of the region’s best vintages.
94 Points Antonio Galloni “A richly-textured, expansive Champagne, the 1911 bursts from the glass with expressive layers of perfumed Pinot fruit. The wine possesses stunning depth, clarity and precision in an utterly engaging style, with never-ending waves of fruit that caress the palate from start to finish. Precise chalky notes frame a sublime finish. Simply put this is remarkable juice, and one of the best relative values readers will find in Champagne.”
