  Retail $50. Exceeedingly Heavy Bottle (877g; 1lb 15oz). 100% Pinot Noir Grand Cru (10% Bouzy rouge added to the vin clair). The Clouet was on sale at Spec's and I finally went back and bought more. Consistent notes.

  Retail $50. 100% Pinot Noir Grand Cru (10% Bouzy rouge added to the vin clair). We were in Spec's to pick up some sparkling wine to serve my father-in-law (but telling him it was expensive champagne; thank you Gruet, New Mexico) and my wife said she wanted a bottle of Clouet Rosé, adding that she remembered liking it. I was going to add that the reason she liked it was that it was good, but I kept my big trap shut, hoping to keep my bid for husband of the year alive for at least another five minutes (I also realized that I did not heed my own advice about buying more of this as I wrote in my previous note). Those notes are spot on, but this wine had a little more age to it, both in characteristics (a bit more yeasty and a hint of oxidation) and objective evidence (the cork did not expand much at all after extraction). We *love* our champagne, even non-vintage wines, with a bit of extra bottle age on them. Bravo.

  $53. Again, a beautifully dynamic dry rose. We are ordering 2 more and 4 more of the Chalky, which is super! Glad to help pay for Clouet's expansion project!

  I generally thought this was a nice bright champagne with some pleasant and typical rose flavors of strawberry cream and test / dough. That said, there was a bit of a bruised apple note that stuck out to me that I didn’t love. Ok, but not something I’d generally seek out (love this producer generally).
