Vouette & Sorbée 〰️
The Aube, a southeastern corner of Champagne, has become a hub for distinctive and expressive Champagnes. Bertrand Gautherot of Vouette & Sorbée played a key role in this transformation, beginning in 1986 and releasing his first domaine Champagnes in 2001, setting a new standard for quality.
Commitment to Natural Viticulture
Founded in 1993, Vouette & Sorbée champions organic and biodynamic farming, prioritizing quality over quantity. Gautherot, alongside pioneers like Anselme Selosse and Vincent Laval, focuses on terroir expression, with vineyards on Kimmeridgian and Portlandian soils. His minimal-intervention approach preserves purity, using indigenous yeasts and avoiding fining, filtering, or dosage.
