André Clouet Un Jour de 1911

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The NV Un jour de 1911... is another 100% Bouzy Pinot Noir with an ancient label design. The shining golden-colored cuvée combines ripeness, complexity and finesse with intensity and elegance on both the nose and palate. It's a powerful and rich yet very fine and balanced Champagne with great freshness and complex length. It is juicy and intense but also highly delicate, and its mineral tension and persistent finish make it a first-class wine for elaborate dishes. A great Champagne, with a label that doesn't give any more detailed information regarding vintages or disgorgement date, but we know it's always a 50/50 blend of three vintages (including one great millésime at least 10 years old) and reserve wines from a solera system. I tasted the wine as a Brut with Clouet's German importer in Bremen. You shouldn't drink it too early, as it would be a waste of its talents.

Description
Champagne André Clouet Un Jour de 1911 is a reflection of the care and passion with which each bottle is crafted. From the selection of the grapes to the vinification process, everything is done with the aim of producing a champagne that is a treat for the senses. The philosophy of the André Clouet winery is based on attention to detail, from the care of the vineyards to the vinification and ageing of the champagne. All this results in a final product that is a true oenological masterpiece. This champagne is bottled in a limited quantity of 1911 bottles each year, a number that commemorates the revolt that defended the origin of Champagne in 1911.
Winemaking
Made in the prestigious village of Bouzy, this Blanc de Noirs is composed of 100% Pinot Noir grapes, renowned for their high quality in this region. It is the result of a blend of the 95, 96 and 97 vintages. After its production, the champagne undergoes a resting process in rhyme that lasts eight years, with stirring and disgorgement carried out by hand.
Taste
This champagne delights us with evocative aromas of lime, rose petals and jasmine. It has a golden yellow colour. The nose offers aromas of freshly baked brioche, redcurrants, dried pineapple, orange peel, lime and white flowers. On the palate, it is distinguished by its very fine bubbles and a fresh passage with hints of citrus, red berries and sweet pastry notes.
