Andre Clouet Champagne Un jour de ...

André Clouet’s “Un Jour de 1911” is a blanc de noirs from Grand Cru Bouzy, built entirely on Pinot Noir from one of Champagne’s great red-wine villages. This bottle was disgorged in 2020, giving it over five years on cork. On opening, a brief and slightly unsettling flash of reduction - metallic, almost mousy - that dissipated within seconds and left no trace. Once settled, the nose is confident and vinous: dark cherry and raspberry, brioche, dried flowers, and a …

I appreciated the intensity and complexity that made it the perfect pairing with spicy and intense tasty food. Very long and full bodied, a bit of different champagne for an excellent price quality level

This cuvée is always good and often great. Last night’s bottle was in the good camp, perhaps a bit muted from travel. We flew with it checked, and it was slightly warm on opening before a stint in the ice bucket. Still, it showed a nice balance between freshness and maturity, with biscuit and ripe pear up front, followed by apple, lemon zest, a touch of ginger, and a hint of coffee.

Purchased 2020 - disgorged 2019. Pale gold in the glass with minuscule persistent bubbles. Nose and palate are brioche, mineral and lemon. Creamy but also bright with the medium plus acidity. Long finish carrying all three nose and palate components. What more could you ask for?

Dgt 2024, It may needs a bit more time to fully develop, very vertical and fresh for a BdN

Good, but I’ve thought previous iterations of this were great. Brioche, golden orchard fruit, good persistence, medium long finish. Others really liked. B/B+

Really nice. My first time with this cuvee—a bottle bought second hand so likely an older disgorgement, though unfortunately it’s impossible to know for sure. Powerful chalky citrus and almond notes, lingering acidity, but delivered in a really silky, refined package. It’s not Krug, but I get where the comparison comes from.

No disgorgement date. All PN from Bouzy. This is more house than grower champagne stylistically. Red berry, fig, cream, and biscuit. Little Krug-esque. Ready to go and charming. Worth the price of admission at $70.

코르크를 따자마자 잘 익은 사과 향이 먼저 치고 올라온다. 뒤이어 갓 구운 토스트 냄새가 고소하게 퍼지는데, 아침 빵집 앞을 지나는 기분이다. 솔솔 풍기는 꿀 향기는 수백만 원짜리 샴페인처럼 엄청나게 고급스럽진 않지만, 나름의 복합미를 뽐내며 기분을 좋게 만든다. 끝자락에 스치는 달달한 꽃향기가 꽤나 우아해서 "오, 제법인데?" 하는 소리가 절로 나온다. 입안에선 축제가 열린다. 탄산이 빵빵하게 터져서 지루할 틈을 안 주는데, 여기에 기분 좋은 산도가 어우러지니 청량감이 끝내준다. 기름진 음식 먹을 때 콜라 대신 이걸 마셔도 되겠다 싶을 정도다. 혀끝에 살짝 단맛이 …

Ravgul farge, transparent og tettpakket med bittesmå bobler. Intens nese med fersk brioche, mye gulfrukt, sitrus litt sopp, nøtter og røyk. Fin luksuriøs mousse i munnen, bra konsentrasjon, med samme smak som nese. Viser flere lag, Medium pluss lengde og pen balanse. (Jeg har hatt tre flasker av denne i løpet av desember, og det har vært tydelig flaskevariasjon fra 91 - 93 poeng.

This is a more oxidative than we prefer with its nutty bruised pear and brioche profile. Still proper champagne if you like the style.

This cuvée can be a bit inconsistent, but it’s always good and often great. Last night’s bottle was clearly the latter. It struck a nice balance between freshness and maturity, opening with generous notes of biscuit and ripe pear, followed by crisp apple, lemon zest, a touch of ginger, and a hint of coffee.

Lovely, toasty champagne.

Once again I find this Champagne fascinating and so in my wheelhouse (see prior tasting notes). This one disgorged Dec 2024 for B-21. Tourbillon No. 171. Not expecting a fair comparison but I did so anyway with a NV Moutard Brut Grande Cuvee, another Blanc de Pinot Noir, but the Moutard is from La Cote des Bar (the Moutard lot was LBR22*07925). I applaud the makers of the NV Andre Clouet 1911 for its organoleptic profile and consistency thereof across …

Citron mure, amande, belle richesse, la bulle est fine, tout est en équilibre avec l'acidité, delicieux, je peux comprendre les parallèles avec Krug même si celui-ci na pas la profondeur et l'élégance du Krug mais bon cest 4x moins cher aussi. 120-150 mois sur lie provenant de 3 millésimes. Belle découverte !

Aromas of ripe citrus and apples, toast and autolysis. Rich and concentrated on the palate with good acidity.

Nearly Everything you like to meet in champagne. Fruit with brioche, toast, superb acidic support, length. Elegant moderate mousse.

Deg May 2025. What a great bottle. Terrific price performance ratio. Charming nose of Williams pears, roasted nuts and butter croissant. Very fulfilling in the mouth. Initially a bit short but after 90' endless. I thought it was an old degorment, but on the (clearly young) cork I could read 25 5. Paid less than 70€ at an auction. 2 bottles left. To be tried again in 2-5 years.

Bronze color, red apples, quite large bubbles are the main reason for not getting higher score

D 2/24. Good but one dimensional and lacking finish. Dosage noticeably high. Given recent disgorgement it might improve with time.

Very good… but deffo not “Krug like”, like how I’ve heard so many people say

Disgorged 2024. Beautiful champagne, red apple, green strawberry, bready character. A delight.

Mye smak. Gode lagringstoner med brioche. Mange tertiæraromaer som Gir kompleksitet. Lang og med god syre. Passet perfekt til fårikål.

see my last tasting note. superb.

Some Wine Tasted Watching the Chicago Air & Water Show; 8/16/2025-8/17/2025 (Chicago, IL) : Small glass. Rich and slightly bready with good volume. Very tasty in its style. Current release, unclear of specific vintage(s).

Usikker på basevin her, lagret ca 3 år. Flott mineralitet, fresh mousse. Nesten gulgrønn. Slankere frukt enn tidligere flasker, nesten sur og bitter i utgang. Liker mineralitet og friskhet men den er litt ubalansert. Må ha mat

I like the oxidative notes of this champagne, the caramelized apples and brioche.

요즘 “샴페인 가격 현실화” 바람 덕분에 제법 착한 가격표가 붙어 있는 병이다. 잔에 코를 갖다 대면 꿀 내음이 먼저 번진다. 빵이나 브리오슈 터치는 상대적으로 부드럽게 깔리지만 “고급 샴페인이 갖춰야 할 요소”는 전부 들어 있다. 발향이 요란하게 터지는 타입은 아니고 은은하게 흘러나오는데, 덕분에 모난 데가 거의 느껴지지 않는다. William Kelley가 “꿀, 구운 사과, 가벼운 패스트리 노트가 우아하게 겹친다”고 평한 포인트가 그대로 와닿았다. 입에서는 여전히 산도가 꽤 튄다. 블랑 드 누아라는 걸 알고 있어서인지 일반 블렌딩 샴페인보다는 살짝 더 묵직한 바디가 느껴지고, …

Light amber, still lively bead. Full bodied and creamy. Nutty, great acidity. Less harmonious and impressive than past bottles.

Clouet’s Un Jour de 1911 can range from breathtaking to merely pleasant, and last night’s bottle fell into the latter camp. Several factors might explain the inconsistency. The house shares almost nothing about base vintages or disgorgement dates, so each bottle could come from a different release. Variability within a single disgorgement is possible too, and this bottle traveled from Washington to Florida to Michigan, so travel shock can’t be ruled out. Served straight from the fridge, it may also …

2023 disgorgement It’s been almost 2 years since my last bottle of this. I’m glad I waited. Creamy, citrusy plenty of body and a great streak of acidity. Doesn’t show the oxidation notes that previous disgorgement’s have had, but I feel this is getting to a good spot. I think I’ll wait at least a year until I open the next bottle.

Very open for business. Tad smokeyness which gives this sparkling its momentum. Good qpr I have to say

2011 vintage
