Andre Clouet Chalky NV
DOZEN: $1,512.00 or $126.00 each
As the name suggests, Chalky tastes like the salty-chalky purism of the chalk soils of Champagne, but it wouldn’t be a Clouet if it didn’t also exude a wonderful, melting charm and seductive appeal. 200 million years of minerality poured into the bottle as liquid chalk, what a smooth, delicious mineral hammer! HEINER LOBERNBERG, lobernbergwineguide.com
Saline and mineral to profound effect, encased in apple, beurre bosc pear and lemon. Pure, primary and white inside and out, it carries impressive acid line, intricately framed in low dosage. TYSON STELZER, The Champagne Guide
Brimming with fresh apple, lemon and wild-berry aromas underlined by a note of freshly baked baguette, this begins so charming, then it turns in a fascinating mineral direction with a pronounced saline quality. The excitement comes from the tension between these two sides of this very distinctive champagne. Very long, chalky finish…JAMES SUCKLING
Medium golden yellow. Quite classic on the nose with citrus notes, exotic fruit nuances of mango and passion fruit. Elegant on the palate with a fine mousse, a noticeable impression of sweetness and a certain minerality. Complex even in the long aftertaste with smoky nuances. FALSTAFF
