André Clouet

You would be hard pushed to find a more charismatic and eccentric wine grower than our friend Jean Francois. We love working with him and are supremely proud to be helping him develop the reputation of Champagne André Clouet in the UK. Every champagne lover should try his wines!

The estate of André Clouet lies in the heart of Grand Cru Pinot Noir country in the little town of Bouzy. The Estate is run by Jean Francois Clouet, a long standing friend of the Vintner’s, whose champagnes are outstanding. Jean-Francois owns 8 hectares of vines in preferred mid-slope vineyards in the Grand Cru villages of Bouzy and Ambonnay, where he exclusively grows Pinot Noir from vines grown on Champagne’s famous chalk soil. The wine is fermented first in temperature controlled stainless steel vats for two weeks. The wine is then filtered, stabilised then bottled with yeast added to start its second fermentation in bottle.
