Paul Clouet Bouzy Vintage 2016

Coming from the esteemed Grand Cru village of Bouzy, this cuvée has a lovely ripe nose and opens with a surprisingly soft front end. Then the vinosity builds as expected with plenty of plump, juicy red fruits and a creamy texture on the palate. The finish has a crisp nature but isn't in any way harsh and links up nicely with the warmth of the vintage.

House Profile

Based in Bouzy and made from the same family that brought you Champagne Bonnaire. They work with vineyards both in Bouzy and some of the staple within the Bonnaire range: Cramant, Bergeres les Vertus, Cuis and Fossoy. The wines show a harmonious and fruity side to the village; bright with a lovely sugar balance throughout. The Prestige, a wine made from the vineyard of Les Hauts Chemins is a real stunner.
