Champagne Goutorbe-Bouillot

Technical Bio

Champagne Goutorbe-Bouillot is a family-run grower house located in the village of Damery in the Vallée de la Marne. The family’s viticultural roots go back to the mid-18th century, and the formal union of the Goutorbe and Bouillot families in 1911 marked the beginning of the estate as an independent Champagne producer.

Vineyard & Viticulture

The estate farms approximately 8 to 9 hectares of vines, spread across around 30 to 35 parcels in the Vallée de la Marne. The vineyards are planted to a blend of varieties, including Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Soils are a mixture of clay and limestone, and the estate follows sustainable vineyard practices, recognised under the standard “Viticulture Durable” and further acknowledged for environmental value.

Winemaking Philosophy

In the cellar, the house emphasizes balance, precision and terroir expression. One of its signature methods is the use of a perpetual reserve system, whereby older reserve wines are integrated into the non-vintage blend to provide depth and continuity of style. Malolactic fermentation is typically prevented, to preserve freshness and a crisp backbone in the wines.

Wine Style & Identity

Champagne Goutorbe-Bouillot’s wines are defined by finesse, clarity and an elegant interplay of freshness and maturity. The estate’s higher proportion of Pinot Meunier roots the wines firmly in the Vallée de la Marne terroir, while the use of older reserves contributes complexity and continuity. The goal is to let the vineyard and vintage speak clearly, with minimal external interference.
