Champagne Paul Clouet Selection Grande Réserve

For those who want to learn about the world of Paul Clouet and his Champagnes, this Selection Grande Réserve may be an excellent starting point. It is a blend of the three typical grapes of the region, with Pinot Noir alone accounting for half of the blend. With it, 30% Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier for the remainder. A fresh and immediate Champagne, in this case the wine rests for "only" 24 months on the lees and, after disgorgement, a liqueur d'expedition consisting of about 7 grams of sugar per liter is added to the wine. Overall, then, this is a pleasantly dry but not extreme wine, with aromas still recalling fresh fruit, rose and typical mineral sensations. Great for an elegant aperitif, it is also perfect with shellfish and is a must try with bread, butter and anchovies.
