André Clouet Champagne Chalky NV (France) (Gift Box)"What does 200 million years of manifest minerality taste like? Jean Francois Clouet put the answer in this bottle. A completely new wine in Cloue's portfolio, bottled in a special white coated bottle with a matching box in a chalk cliff design. As the name suggests, Chalky tastes like the salty chalky pursim of the chalk soils of Champagne, but it wouldn't be a Clouet if it didn't also exude a wonderful, melting charm and seductive appeal. 200
"What does 200 million years of manifest minerality taste like? Jean-Francois Clouet put the answer in this bottle. A completely new wine in Cloue's portfolio, bottled in a special white-coated bottle with a matching box in a chalk cliff design. As the name suggests, Chalky tastes like the salty-chalky pursim of the chalk soils of Champagne, but it wouldn't be a Clouet if it didn't also exude a wonderful, melting charm and seductive appeal. 200 million years of minerality poured into the bottle as liquid chalk, what a smooth, delicious mineral hammer!" Lobenberg Wine Guide
"Brimming with fresh apple, lemon and wild-berry aromas underlined by a note of freshly baked baguette, this begins so charmingly, then it turns in a fascinating mineral direction with a pronounced saline quality. The excitement comes from the tension between these two sides of this very distinctive champagne. Very long, chalky finish" James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com
Chalk is the fundamental element of the Champagne terroir. The history of chalk goes back to the Jurassic era, 200 million years ago when the whole region was covered by the sea. Although poor in nutrients, chalk stores both warmth and water, releasing them regularly, providing the perfect foundation for Champagne vines. Draining off the excess, retaining water enriched by microscopic marine fossils, Chalk nourishes the vine with maternal affection, with minerality and an inimitable salinity. Lastly, chalk is the protector of Champagne as it ages, allowing itself to be dug into deep underground cellars, where the precious nectar can safely mature, tucked away from the light and fluctuations in temperature.
100% Chardonnay from Grand Cru Villages. 1/3 from the southern slopes of the Montagne de Reims, 2/3 from the Côte de Blancs.
