Wine With Bok - 9.25/10 Stars
Before I studied the details of the content of the wine, I gave myself a simple test, what’s the grape varietal here? From the nose which was moderately fruit intense, I believe it was Pinot Noir, but the palate confused me somehow, as it was slightly bitter and metallic, but I still insisted it was Pinot Noir. Later I found out it was Pinot Noir blend of Bouzy and Ambonnay from 2008 & 2009. However, the wine had zero dosage (i.e. no sugar added to the champagne), and thus it explained the slightly bitter and metallic note. I find zero dosage champagnes quite interesting, as it revealed the natural beauty of the champagne, as it didn’t go through intensive make up.

Andre Clouet's NV Silver Brut Nature is a pure Bouzy Pinot Noir that
was disgorged without any dosage. This disgorgement displays a medium
intense golden color and a complex and refined bouquet of ripe and
pureed apples and discreet chalky as well as brioche aromas. The palate
is elegant, straight and fresh, very pure and salty on the finish.
