“Readers who appreciate Pinot-based Champagnes will find much to admire here.”

“The "1911", a reminiscence of the 1911 vintage, produced in an edition of 1,911 bottles from the oldest Pinot Noir vines of the winery, and the "Clos de Bouzy", a pure Pinot Noir Champagne from a small vineyard surrounded by a wall, a "Clos", which is only bottled in magnums. This exceptional Champagne is one of the most sought-after rarities in Champagne.”
95 Points Peter Moser, Falstaff.com (November 2021)
Rich, bright golden yellow. Intense bouquet, brioche notes, ripe stone fruit, dried apple and a little nougat. Complex, full-bodied with exotic hints of ripe pineapple on the palate. Very finely tuned mousse, salty underlay, with fresh acid structure. A creamy honey touch on the finish, full-bodied with noteworthy length. Very good ageing potential. Great.
95 Points James Suckling (December 2021)
A rich and expansive champagne with tons of mature aromas of dried fruit (apricots!) and candied orange. Teeters on the edge of decadence but has enough vitality to stay on the right side of that line. Plenty of textural complexity on the palate and a long, chalky finish that keeps giving and giving. Spot-on balance.
93 Points Stephen Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate (April 2021)
The NV Un jour de 1911... is another 100% Bouzy Pinot Noir with an ancient label design. The shining golden-colored cuvée combines ripeness, complexity and finesse with intensity and elegance on both the nose and palate. It's a powerful and rich yet very fine and balanced Champagne with great freshness and complex length. It is juicy and intense but also highly delicate, and its mineral tension and persistent finish make it a first-class wine for elaborate dishes. A great Champagne, with a label that doesn't give any more detailed information regarding vintages or disgorgement date, but we know it's always a 50/50 blend of three vintages (including one great millésime at least 10 years old) and reserve wines from a solera system. I tasted the wine as a Brut with Clouet's German importer in Bremen. You shouldn't drink it too early, as it would be a waste of its talents.
