Champagne André Clouet Brut The V6 Experience Grand Cru

Falstaff 95 points
Quite intense white gold colour. Ripe nose, baked apple, puff pastry with almond and apricot, candied citrus fruit, but also mineral hints. Complex and positively old-school. Beautifully textured on the palate with a very fine, persistent mousse and again intense fruit. Long-lasting and juicy finish. Remains slightly salty on the palate.

Aged for six years on the second lees, the yellow-golden Brut The V6 Experience is a Bouzy Pinot Noir that displays great purity and intensity but also reduction on the mineral-scented nose. This is deep and complex, but it needs all our patience and perhaps even a decanter or at least a big glass and lots of aeration. The palate is rich and powerful, firmly structured, very tight and still astringent on the finish, but there is so much finesse paired with power, concentration and fruit, which give the V6 a promising future. The wine just starts a bit slowly (like a rocket, which is pictured on the label), but it will most probably go very steep in a couple of years. I have ever had this cuvée before, so I can only guess, though.
