MV André Clouet, Champagne Brut Grand Cru Rosé "No.3"

We’re back with a bonus second batch of Clouet magnificence: 100% Pinot Noir from the Grand Cru village of Bouzy and aged on its lees for many years, this full-bodied, fresh and mineral-driven pink lady drinks well above major Champagne houses’ rosés for a fraction of the price. It is a beauty of dizzying complexity and serious depth that will make you wonder why you ever paid exorbitant prices for the most famous house’s rosés when André Clouet’s No.3 tastes this good. It’s guaranteed to bring a smile to your face, your family’s faces, and anyone you encounter for a toast during this joyous season.  André Clouet’s family history is almost as storied and labyrinthine as his Bouzy chalk cellars, which actually still include partial false walls originally constructed to hide their precious bottles from the Nazis during World War II.
