André Clouet Brut Rosé Clouet N°3 Champagne

Notes

Clouet N°3 was inspired by Coco Chanel, the number introduced to denote the style, recognising that the colour is different each year, with the number 3 representing a light, elegant apéritif style. Clouet’s base rosé epitomises elegance and focus, while flamboyantly celebrating the generous raspberries, red cherries and pomegranates of Bouzy. The depth and presence of the village are sensitively toned by the lively, bright acidity and fresh precision of the house. Structure is fine and confident, driven by the chalk minerality of the village, working seamlessly in concert with finely executed tannin texture. It finishes with great length, vibrancy and elegance, with lingering poise and detail of exquisite red berry fruits. An engaging and enticingly priced rosé of primary integrity and pretty medium salmon crimson hue.

Food Pairing

This is one of the most versatile rosé Champagnes for the table. Its Pinot Noir character makes it a natural companion to foods that would overwhelm many lighter Champagnes. Pair it with duck breast, salmon, tuna tartare, roast chicken, charcuterie, mushroom dishes, or pork tenderloin with fruit-based sauces. It also shines alongside berry-glazed ham, grilled shrimp, and soft-ripened cheeses such as Brie or Chaource. For a more indulgent pairing, try it with duck confit or roast duck with cherry sauce—the wine’s red fruit notes and bright acidity create a beautiful harmony.

About the producer!

Champagne André Clouet is one of Champagne’s most respected Pinot Noir specialists. The Clouet family has roots in Bouzy dating back centuries, and the modern house was formally established in 1741. Located in the Grand Cru village of Bouzy, the estate focuses heavily on Pinot Noir grown on the chalk-rich slopes of the Montagne de Reims. Today, the winery is led by Jean-François Clouet, whose wines are known for combining power, richness, and value. André Clouet is often classified as a grower-focused Champagne house, producing expressive wines that reflect the character of Bouzy’s Grand Cru vineyards. Their distinctive labels pay homage to the family’s historic role as printers to the court of King Louis XV.
