{"product_id":"champagne-andre-clouet-chalky-brut-nv","title":"Champagne Andre Clouet 'Chalky' Brut","description":"\u003cp\u003eChampagne André Clouet 'Chalky' Brut NV is a distinctive Blanc de Blancs that serves as a tribute to the ancient chalky terroir of the Champagne region. While André Clouet is traditionally known as a specialist in Pinot Noir from the Grand Cru village of Bouzy, this cuvée represents a significant deviation for winemaker Jean-François Clouet by focusing exclusively on Chardonnay. The wine is beautifully presented in a special white-coated bottle with a matching gift box designed to mimic the appearance of a chalk cliff.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour and Varietal\u003c\/strong\u003e: A bright golden-coloured Champagne made from 100% Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTerroir\u003c\/strong\u003e: The grapes are sourced one-third from the southern slopes of the Montagne de Reims and two-thirds from the Côte des Blancs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma\u003c\/strong\u003e: The nose is powerful and expressive, featuring citrus, almond, and blossom, alongside notes of lightly candied fruit, spice, and gingerbread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate and Body\u003c\/strong\u003e: On the palate, the wine is mineral-driven and salty with a creamy perlage.
