More questions
The Champagne Silver Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Pas Dosé by André Clouet is an extraordinary expression of high-quality viticulture in the famed Champagne region. Made from Pinot Noir grapes grown exclusively in the Grand Cru-classified soils of the picturesque area of Bouzy, this champagne showcases the mastery and attention to detail of the André Clouet house.
With no dosage added, meaning no sugars after the second fermentation, the Silver Blanc de Noirs is an exemplification of purity and varietal expression. The absence of dosage allows this sparkling wine to express the typical characteristics of Pinot Noir in an honest and direct manner, with a notably drier and more straightforward approach than many other Champagnes.
Visually, it presents a bright straw-yellow color with a fine and persistent perlage that gently caresses the palate with elegance. On the nose, intense aromas of red fruits, citrus, notes of brioche bread, and yeast emerge, evoking the complexity derived from the long period of maturation on the lees.
On the palate, the attack is vigorous yet balanced, with a refreshing acidity that harmoniously blends with a robust and enveloping structure. Flavors of green apple, pear, and touches of dried fruit create a complex and captivating palate that persists with a long and clean finish.
This Champagne is ideal for celebrating special moments or can be served as an aperitif. It pairs beautifully with refined dishes, particularly seafood, raw fish, and delicate appetizers.
The Champagne Silver Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Pas Dosé by André Clouet is not just a drink, but a true sensory experience that encapsulates the essence and elegance of French winemaking art.

The story
The Clouet family has been associated with Bouzy for centuries: the maison lists itself as "est. 1741" on its official website, and the family tradition is also mentioned in its marketing and technical descriptions. Over generations the estate has developed the Grand Cru village's vineyards into a production focused on Pinot Noir, preserving historic cellars beneath the village house and practicing extended ageing in chalk galleries.
Production philosophy
The production approach emphasizes the identity of the site: a strong focus on Pinot Noir from Bouzy, controlled use of stainless steel and neutral barrels for fermentation, extended ageing on the lees, and the use of reserve/solera wines to impart complexity. In the vineyard, attention is paid to sustainability and respect for the terroir.
Terroir and vineyards
Bouzy, in the Montagne de Reims, lies on predominantly calcareous-clay soils with exposures favorable to the full ripening of Pinot Noir. The area is renowned for its strong affinity for Pinot Noir and for the contrasts between chalk and clay, which contribute to structure and minerality.
