Bertrand Gautherot of Vouette et Sorbee is another rising star encouraged by the godfather of Champagne, Jacques Selosse to bottle his own Champagne. Devoted to terroir expression and purity, Vouette et Sorbee is biodynamic and organic Demeter Certified since 1998. 

The Blanc dArgile is a blanc de blancs made from selected Chardonnays grown in the west-facing Biaunes vineyard, which produces a wine that combines power with chalky, mineral precision. An ode to slowness, to maturation step by step. Blanc d'Argile was born in 2004 on a single plot, cold, housed between forests and pastures: BIAUNE. Think of a great white Burgundy with bubbles!

AWARDS AND REVIEWS



Like many artisan Champagnes, the Vouette et Sorbee are wines first and foremost. They should be opened in advance, given some air and served in regular white wine glasses, never flutes. All of the wines are fermented in barrel, using only indigenous yeasts. There is no cold stabilization, fining or filtering and the wines are bottled with no dosage. When the wines are on, they are among the most exciting wines being made in Champagne. Bertrand Gautherot crafts gorgeous, handmade wine loaded with personality. Antonio Galloni




The Champagnes of Vouette et Sorbée are uncompromisingly original, possessing deep, vinous aromas and assertive personalities. These are wines before they are Champagnes, and their intensity of character makes them more suitable to contemplative drinking or to accompanying food than to casual sipping. They are clearly the products of a natural philosophy of viticulture, with all that that implies in the French wine world Peter Liem, www.champagneguide.net
