André Clouet Champagne Rosé No. 3 Grand Cru Brut

Sparkling Wine of the Week: André Clouet Champagne Rosé No. 3 Grand Cru Brut

This wine was given to me by a friend that joined us for dinner over the holidays. I can assure you that he was well-received when I opened the door and saw the bottle. The Champagnes of André Clouet are favorites at our home. This high-quality small production sparkling wine comes from the Grand Cru village of Bouzy located in the Champagne region of France. It is made from 100% Pinot Noir sourced from the prime mid-slope section of the vineyard.

A pretty pale pink color, this wine is dry and refreshing with aromas of raspberry and orange zest with a light floral note. It has similar flavors with a bit of yeast and gingerbread in the lingering mineral-laced finish.

The wine is the perfect hostess gift, approximately $50.

Last year, I had the opportunity to travel to Italy to taste the wines of Oltrepò Pavese. I discovered that these sparkling wines are based on Pinot Noir, they are made in the traditional method, like Champagne, and most importantly, they are an Italian hidden gem that bubble lovers across the world need to put on their radar. In the August issue of Galveston Monthly magazine, I introduce these wines to my readers.
