Vintage Character Un Jour de 1911 Brut NV from Champagne’s esteemed Andre Clouet house is a striking expression of Bouzy Grand Cru terroir, crafted predominantly from Pinot Noir with a touch of Chardonnay. The non-vintage blend benefits from extended lees aging, which imparts remarkable depth and complexity to the wine.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 96 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this Champagne opens with an alluring bouquet of toasted brioche, ripe orchard fruits, and subtle notes of honeyed almonds. On the palate, a creamy mousse is balanced by vibrant acidity, revealing layers of baked apple, citrus zest, and delicate hazelnut on a persistent, mineral-laced finish. The moderate climate and chalk-rich soils of Bouzy contribute to the wine’s taut structure and refined elegance. This cuvée pairs beautifully with Western classics such as seared scallops in beurre blanc or aged Comté cheese, making it a versatile choice for sophisticated dining occasions.
