The territory and the vision of Bertrand Gautherot
The Vouette et Sorbet winery is led by Bertrand Gautherot, an RM producer from Buxières-sur-Arce, in the Aube, in the heart of the Côte des Bar. The vineyards, about 5 hectares predominantly of Pinot Noir, grow on soils that recall the geological proximity to Chablis, among calcareous components and Kimmeridgian marls. This matrix gives the wines freshness, momentum, and a crisp minerality, central elements in the winery's style.
The result is champagnes that combine precision and substance, with a flavor profile that is often broad but always supported by tension and verticality. It is an approach that values the terroir and makes each bottle suitable for those who wish to explore a more authentic and territorial interpretation of Champagne.
The labels in the collection
Among the available wines, Cuvée Fidèle blanc de noirs stands out, characterized by a rich and enveloping profile, with notes of currant, cherry, red apple, and hints of vanilla and brioche linked to aging in wood. Next to this expression, we find Cuvée Blanc d'Argile, which interprets the territory with a footprint consistent with the winery's philosophy, and Saignée de Sorbée, a proposal that completes the selection with further depth and personality.
