The wines have absolutely no dosage and are made at a lower bar of pressure resulting in finer bubbles and powerful vinous cuvees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Gautherots’ vineyards have been certified biodynamic since 1998 and his low yield, high intensity fruit translates to powerful wines that command food. Gautherot who was inspired by Jacques Selosse is one of the true legends of Champagne. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese cuvees will provide much discussion at the dinner table so please read our tasting card that will arrive with your champagne before you present this wine to your guests - these wines are not for the feint of heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVouette et Sorbée Vineyards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blanc de Blancs and Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut fine champagnes produced by the \u003cstrong\u003eVouette et Sorbée\u003c\/strong\u003e vineyards are among the most bio-dynamically harvested and processed on the market, producing exquisite, one-of-a-kind champagnes that are difficult to replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated in the Côte des Bar region of France, the champagne that comes from the \u003cstrong\u003eVouette\u003c\/strong\u003e et \u003cstrong\u003eSorbée\u003c\/strong\u003e vineyards is processed from grapes that have been left to fully sun ripen before being hand-picked and fermented in natural oak barrels, with no added colouring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDictated by Mother Nature\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mature Pinot-Noir vines have been the predominant grape variety grown on the vineyards, with a small section of Chardonnay recently being added.
