Release after release, year after year, I have always marvelled at the lemon blossom freshness that Clouet manages to capture in pinot noir from two of Champagne's most powerful terroirs. Here it is again, in a captivating interplay of fleshy mirabelle plums, white peaches, crunchy golden delicious apples, and even a hint of pepper. Wild honey and mixed spice join the maelstrom along the way, gliding obediently into a well defined finish of soft minerality. Tyson Stelzer; Taste Champagne

I was only able to taste one new release from Andre Clouet this year. The NV Brut Grande Reserve emerges from the glass with layers of hazelnut, pear, spice and dried flower aromas. This rich, creamy wine impresses for its balance and sheer richness. I loved it. Antonio Galloni; Vinous

I just can't get enough of it - especially at this price. A delicious wine made from 100 per cent pinot noir with all the richness and definition that variety offers. There's plenty of fine bead, red fruits mingled with citrus, and earthy, warm spice, zesty and dry on the finish. It builds on the palate and is quite voluptuous, almost full- bodied for champagne. Jane Faulkner; Age Epicure

This extremely good value, all-Pinot Noir Champagne comes exclusively from grand cru vineyards. While it is packed with ripe pear and apricot fruit aromas, it is lifted by citrus and white flower notes. Complex and forward in style, with some biscuity characters and a long, persistent finish. No doubt this is one of the best value Champagnes out there. Decanter

Just as good as last time it was tasted, although this bottle seems especially fresh and delicate, with a refinement that is perhaps not classic blanc de noirs, but seems to suggest some chardonnay in the mix (but there is none). Lovely wine indeed. Tasted: Oct 19; Rated: 94 Points; Huon Hooke; The Real Review

Whole-grain bread, malt and candied berry aromas and flavors highlight this intense yet creamy Champagne, which picks up a floral accent as it cruises to a long, mouthwatering finish. Wine Spectator
