Description
The V6 Experience matures on the lees for six years and takes off like a rocket on the palate! It is, so to speak, a 6-cylinder turbo with plenty of power and depth. Jean-François Clouet's champagnes are characterised by notes of candied (citrus) fruits, the scent of fresh Christmas stollen and roasted almonds. This Blanc de Noirs (100% Pinot Noir) is distinguished by its fine perlage. Its mousse is compact, persistent and powerful on the palate. Complex in taste and long on the finish, it offers great enjoyment – with smoked fish, seafood or saffron risotto, as well as spicy puff pastry creations such as mushroom Wellington or chicken breast in pastry.

Champagne André Clouet
We didn’t find the low house, dating from the 17th century, straight away, even though the village of Bouzy is not very large. Modest buildings are grouped around a courtyard, behind which a vineyard lies, similar to a clos.
But first of all, Jean François Clouet, last scion of this old family that is traceable to the court of Louis XV, guided us to an elevation. We found ourselves above Bouzy on the south side of the Montagne de Reims range of hills. Jean François points westwards: In 451 AD, Attila the Hun came riding from that direction and it was here that he met the army of the Western Roman Empire. But today, instead of a battlefield, a tranquil sea of vines stretches towards the horizon.

France – Philosophy in a bottle
According to French philosophy, wine should be an expression of the soil and climate. They use the word “terroir” to describe this. Terroir makes every wine different, and many especially good. French wine is regarded worldwide as an expression of cultural perfection. The French believe that humans are responsible for the quality of the berries, the vine variety for their character, and nature for the quantity. This philosophy can be expressed succinctly as: “the truth is the vineyard, not the man.”
