Champagne Andre Clouet Rose No. 3 NV

93 Robert ParkerThe NV Brut Rosé No 3 Grand Cru is a pure Bouzy Pinot Noir that gets its beautiful intense onion-skin color from the addition of 8% red wine. The nose is rich and complex but at the same time pure and refined, with a nice chalky layer and vinous fruit intensity. Round and rich but fresh and vital on the pure and elegant palate, this is a full-bodied, pretty intense and persistent rosé to be served with main courses. This rosé is seriously complex and expressive, with grip, tension and a long finish. Remarkable in class and style. (4/2021) "Standing, the men raised a toast to the Queen and Andre Clouet proclaimed: 'This is how we perfect Pinot Noir in Champagne! Now the Burgundians will just have to deal with it!'"
