André Clouet is a Récoltant-Manipulant based in Bouzy, on the Montagne de Reims, farming 9 hectares of chalk and clay soils on the village’s middle slopes — a vineyard entirely classified Grand Cru. The V6 Experience is a Blanc de Noirs built exclusively from Pinot Noir, and the name encodes its defining characteristic: a minimum of six years, or 72 months, of ageing on secondary lees before disgorgement.

The blend combines 80% base wine rested on lees for between 72 and 90 months with 20% drawn from a perpetual solera reserve, itself composed solely of Pinot Noir from Bouzy. Dosage is set at 5 g/L, using a liqueur prepared from barrel-aged Chardonnay and refined sugar.

Learn more about André Clouet

The Clouets have been in Bouzy since 1492, but before wine they lived by printing: they were official printers to the court of Louis XV at Versailles.

That trade has not entirely gone. The house's labels are designed as a tribute to the Ancien Régime, so the family's past is still there, quite literally, on the paper of the bottle.

The maison begins in 1741, in Bouzy, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims. Jean-François Clouet was born and raised in the village and lives in the eighteenth-century house his forebears built.

The vineyard is under ten hectares, all of it grand cru, on the mid-slopes of Bouzy and Ambonnay: pinot noir country.

They work with old presses, riddling by hand and traditional disgorgement. Their 1911 cuvée is entirely pinot noir from the ten best lieux-dits they hold in Bouzy.
