Paul Clouet Bouzy Non-Vintage Champagne

Hailing from Champagne’s Bouzy appellation—a legendary terroir for Pinot Noir—this non-vintage cuvée embodies meticulous craftsmanship. Produced entirely from estate-grown 100% Pinot Noir, it undergoes a minimum five-year lees-aging in traditional oak barrels, developing layered textures of toasted almond and brioche while retaining vibrant citrus zest and red berry nuances.

Why This Stands Out:
Single-Varietal Rarity: Most Champagnes blend grapes; this focuses solely on Bouzy’s signature Pinot Noir
Time-Intensive Maturation: Extended sur lie aging creates creamy mouthfeel absent in younger vintages
Terroir Transparency: Bottled from grapes grown exclusively in Bouzy’s chalky-clay soils since 1998

The palate balances ripe cherry compote with mineral-driven acidity—a hallmark of Bouzy’s microclimate—culminating in a persistent 45-second finish. At 12% ABV, it offers approachable structure perfect for both celebratory moments and food pairings with grilled salmon or herb-crusted lamb racks.

Note: As a non-vintage expression (NV), this bottle combines reserve wines from multiple exceptional growing seasons to ensure consistent quality year-to-year.
