Champagne André Clouet Rosé No. 3 Brut NV

'I say 10% of the blend is from my blood!' declares Jean-Francois Clouet, who has changed the style of his family's rose to a fresher and more direct mood, not so soft, aiming for the lively impression of malic acidity, even though it goes through full malolactic fermentation. The result is a rose that epitomises elegance and focus, in the midst of the generous red fruits that characterise Bouzy and Ambonnay. The cuvee encapsulates that wonderful talent of pinot noir to build and rise on the finish, opening to wonderful characters of perfumed rosehip, pink pepper and pomegranate. An undercurrent of fine, chalk mineral texture, accurate line and preserving length define a pristine and enticingly priced rose. TYSON STELZER, The Champagne Guide 2014-2015
