This wine is created from a refined \u003cstrong\u003eblend of Pinot Noir grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e, combined with a small portion of local red wine to give it its distinctive pink hue. Made according to the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e, it reveals a clean palate where lively aromas of strawberry and raspberry harmoniously blend with hints of almond and elegant, long-lasting toasted notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the village of \u003cstrong\u003eBouzy\u003c\/strong\u003e, located in the southern part of the Montagne de Reims, in the heart of the renowned \u003cstrong\u003eChampagne\u003c\/strong\u003e region. This geographical area is a prime natural habitat for \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e, thanks to the fortunate combination of a cool climate and soils rich in \u003cstrong\u003eclay and limestone\u003c\/strong\u003e. Such environmental conditions favour a slow and steady ripening of the grapes, imparting a precise taste tension and a deep aromatic complexity typical of the sparkling wines from this area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with the \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e of the grapes, which are then gently pressed. The first fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, preserving the original fruit's integrity. The wine then undergoes the bottle refermentation required by the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e, initiated using indigenous yeasts. This is followed by a \u003cstrong\u003elong period of ageing on the lees\u003c\/strong\u003e, which ensures structure and richness in the final result. The process concludes with the remuage and \u003cstrong\u003emanual disgorgement\u003c\/strong\u003e, essential steps to remove the sediment and guarantee maximum clarity of expression.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1770, during a dinner in honour of Marie Antoinette, André Clouet added a few drops of red wine to a white wine, inspiring the creation of the elegant \u003cstrong\u003eChampagne Rosé No3\u003c\/strong\u003e. This fascinating story is brought to life today in this structured \u003cstrong\u003etraditional method sparkling wine\u003c\/strong\u003e, born from the union of Pinot Noir grapes and the ancient \u003cstrong\u003eBouzy Rouge\u003c\/strong\u003e, historically known as Vin des Sacres. Later made lively for the English friends of the winery, this enchanting wine with its pale salmon colour celebrates a romantic tradition that enhances the authentic excellence of French winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Clouet Andre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44503315316907,"sku":"4968","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/andre-clouet-champagne-rose-n-5-brut_4968_1_8fe11160-350a-4dbb-b7df-49a19b9ed8ea.webp?v=1784117711","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-uk\/products\/andre-clouet-champagne-rose-n-5-brut","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
