2015 Andre Clouet Dream Vintage Bouzy Champagne

2015 Andre Clouet Dream Vintage, Bouzy, Champagne

Andre Clouet’s Dream Vintage is only produced on great champagne vintages instead of yearly production, thus far, we have only encountered 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018. Andre Clouet uses 100% Chardonnay to produce this champagne, of which, 50% of the grapes came from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, while the other 50% from Bouzy. Andre Clouet has captured the better part of the 2015 vintage characteristics. Despite the smaller than average yields, the result was stunning. The tension of the Blanc de Blanc was retained by the superb winemaking skill, while the wine has a beautiful balanced texture with rich and intense fruits. Clearly a superb vintage, you can drink now or cellar it for a couple more years and it’ll certainly develop into more tertiary flavours down the road.
