Champagne Paul Clouet Grand Cru Brut

Founded in 1907, Champagne Paul Clouet is a well known and respected Bouzy grower Champagne. Bouzy is a Grand Cru village and one of the best sources of Pinot Noir in Champagne. Paul Clouet produces world class Champagne using Pinot Noir as its main component while respecting traditional production methods.

The Brut Grand Cru is a blend made with Bouzy Pinot Noir (80%) and an addition of Chardonnay (20%) from Chouilly, two highly rated Grand Cru villages. The Pinot Noir impairs structure and intensity while the Chardonnay brings subtlety and finesse to the wine. The primary fermentation is done in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks ensuring optimum preservation of the fruits and freshness. This is followed by the malolactic fermentation process to give body and character. After bottling the wine is aged on the lees for 36 months. Once disgorged the bottles are left to rest for a minimum of 3 months to allow the wine to settle and blend in nicely with the dosage and offer the ultimate balance and freshness.
