Vouette et Sorbee
This is a true connoisseur’s champagne where craftsmanship is key. The vineyards are located in the true south of Champagne in the cote de Bar and are meticulously governed by cult winemaker Bertrand Gautherot.
Gautherot, first and foremost makes a wine, the bubbles being incidental to what he is trying to achieve which is a wine that offers a sense of place.
Almost all of the cuvees he produces are single vineyard (with the exception of Fidele) and single vintage. The wines have absolutely no dosage and are made at a lower bar of pressure resulting in finer bubbles and powerful vinous cuvees.
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.
These 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.
Vouette et Sorbée Vineyards
The Blanc de Blancs and Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut fine champagnes produced by the Vouette et Sorbée 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.
Located in the Côte des Bar region of France, the champagne that comes from the Vouette et Sorbée 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.
Dictated by Mother Nature
The mature Pinot-Noir vines have been the predominant grape variety grown on the vineyards, with a small section of Chardonnay recently being added. Processing is kept as natural as possible to produce these exquisite champagnes which reflect true passion and the respect for both nature and farming of Vouette et Sorbée vineyard owner Bertrand Gautherot
Certified Organic by Qualité France since 1998, the production from start to finish is left as close to nature as possible, and a real labour of love. Each harvest’s produce is both authentic and a bouquet of surprises because it has been left to mother nature to dictate.
Fidèle is produced from 100% Pinot-Noir grapes, while the Blanc de Argile, so named after the rich clay soils in which the grapes are grown and harvested, is 100% Chardonnay.
A Rebellion, An Independence, A Success
Bertrand Gautherot is the owner of the Vouette et Sorbée vineyards which he inherited from his father. Originally growing grapes for the big champagne houses in the north, he broke away to escape the mildly oppressive and unfair influence they tended to exert over small growers.
His decision to convert to bio-dynamic farming saw him produce his first batch of champagne in 2001. Grown and harvested organically, each year he is personally involved in the harvest and production, along with his workers, trainees, relatives, friends and students, who all come on board as stakeholders in the success of his champagnes.
Often starting off at five in the morning, the harvesting and winemaking season is a lot of hard work. A lot of friendships and camaraderie are formed as well, and at the end of it all, with the last oak barrel is sealed and the last champagne bottle filled and corked, a sip of a well-deserved champagne toast.
A daring to produce fine champagne differently has seen a vision turned into a successful and world-renowned champagne house. As you partake of these delectable champagnes, you are toasting to the success of the bold vision of Bertrand Gautherot.
Each bottle of Fidèle and Blanc d’Argile is an testament of an adventurous and bold spirit.
