對香檳區來說，1911年是20世紀以來最優秀的年份，為了紀念這個偉大的年份，安德烈克魯埃酒廠（André Clouet）特別在酒標上加註了「Un Jours de 1911」，意即「品味，美好1911」。這瓶酒年產量僅1,911瓶，是一款混合年份香檳：由50%的主要年份及25%前後兩個年份混釀而成。優雅如絲綢般的口感，加上豐潤飽滿的深遂風味，知名酒評家Antonio Galloni 及眾多國際評薦機構均給予極高度的評價。

André Clouet的葡萄園位於香檳區僅有的17個珍稀Grand Cru（特級葡萄園）之中，所產出的葡萄等級最高，數量稀少。該區的黑皮諾極為優秀，本次介紹的André Clouet 1911香檳，年產量僅1,911瓶，是一款100% Pinot Noir的黑中白混合年份香檳，其調配比例為：50%的主要年份及各25%的前後兩個年份。

為了萃取最完美的葡萄汁，André Clouet至今仍使用耗時費工的傳統木製方形壓榨機及繁瑣釀造工法。並以人工手寫的方式，標記每一瓶1911香檳的編號以及除渣日期。華麗復古的酒標，則是西元1911年的經典設計，

The Champagne house of Andre Clouet dates back to 1741. Today, Clouet farms about 20 acres of vines, mostly in Bouzy, which is the most famous Grand Cru village in Champagne for Pinot Noir.  Winemaker Jean-Francois Clouet crafts the 1911 Champagne by blending older reserve wines. Once upon a time, a few precious bottles were hidden away in a small cellar for more than 80 years. By a stroke of luck they were found and became the inspiration for a champagne tribute to the Golden Age the Clouet house calls  “One day in 1911”

TASTING NOTE

By Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate 94 pts

The NV Brut Grand Cru Classe 1911 is best described as a multi-vintage wine, composed of 50% 1996 and 25% each 1995 and 1997. I have had the 1911 at least four times over the last few months and never been anything less than deeply impressed. A richly-textured, expansive Champagne, the 1911 bursts from the glass with expressive layers of perfumed Pinot fruit. The wine possesses stunning depth, clarity and precision in an utterly engaging style, with never-ending waves of fruit that caress the palate from start to finish. Precise chalky notes frame a sublime finish. Simply put this is remarkable juice, and one of the best relative values readers will find in Champagne. The 1911 is 100% Pinot Noir made from various lieu-dits in Bouzy.
