Established in 1741, Champagne André Clouet has since grown into a vast family estate with a collection of vineyards surrounding their ancestral home in Bouzy (Montagne de Reims).  Jean-François Clouet represents the current generation of his family to oversee the Clouet domaine, working with the traditionalism and precision that defines their house style.  Interesting fact!  The beautifully ornate Clouet labels (orignially designed in 1911) are a nod to the family's long history of printing books for the French Monarchy.
