Andre Clouet produce an exceptional range of grower champagnes that are rich, concentrated expressions of pinot noir that manage to retain elegance and finesse. A wine making family of more than 2 centuries, the founder acted as a printer in Louis XV court of Versailles and the wines are cellared under the family’s 17th century village house. The style of the labels reflect this heritage.

Spiritum 96 Grand Cru brings complexity and fullness, which are usually only achieved after a very long period of ageing, and the freshness and youthfulness of a rosé into a perfect balance. The key element for this marriage is a large proportion of Pinot Noir grapes from different vintages and 3% Liqueur de Millésime 1996, which means that 3% “dosage” of the great 1996 vintage was added to this rosé champagne. The “dosage” is the final touch in the production of a champagne and has an influence on the style and determines the degree of sweetness of a sparkling wine. 

The unique Clouet Spiritum 96 combines the essence of a great vintage with the freshness and vitality of a youthful rosé. Composition: 88% Pinot Noir, 9% Rouge de Bouzy 1999 (red wine), 3% Liqueur de millesimé 1996 (Liqueur Spiritum 96)
