V6 Experience is 100% Pinot Noir with a lot of time on lees and you can tell right away. It’s loaded with brioche, citrus confit and that toasty grip, but it wears all that weight a bit aggressively. Comes across powerful, tightly structured and slightly impatient. There’s definitely depth and finesse in there, you just have to give it some air and a bit of time to really open up.
That said, it’s still pretty easy to enjoy from the start. Kind of a crowd pleaser, just with more attitude. Feels like a slow burner with real personality and that bold, old school Bouzy swagger you expect from Clouet.
If you compare it to their 1911, it’s a different story. The 1911, with more time and reserve wines in the mix, feels way more rounded and composed. V6 is more lively and energetic, which honestly fits the whole concept behind it.
Like most Clouet stuff, the value here is kind of ridiculous. This is a seriously good wine and I’ll definitely be throwing a few bottles in the cellar to see where it goes with more age.
