Vouette & Sorbée
Nestled in the village of Buxières-sur-Arce in the Côte des Bar, Champagne, Vouette & Sorbée is a 5-hectare biodynamic estate led by vigneron Bertrand Gautherot. Certified Demeter since 1998, the domaine embodies a deep commitment to ecological farming and natural winemaking.

Originally a grape grower for larger Champagne houses, Bertrand began bottling his own wines in 2001—encouraged by the legendary Anselme Selosse. His vineyards—Vouette (Kimmeridgian limestone, Chardonnay), Sorbée (Portlandian limestone, Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc), and Biaunes (Kimmeridgian limestone, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay)—are just 60 km from Chablis, sharing the region’s distinctive chalky soils.

The estate operates as a self-sustaining farm, complete with horses for plowing, chickens, cows, fruit trees, and vegetable gardens—nurturing a thriving biodynamic ecosystem. In the cellar, all wines are fermented with native yeastsin neutral French oak barrels, amphorae, or concrete eggs. There is no filtration, chaptalization, or acidification, and minimal sulfur (≤15 mg/L) is used only at pressing.

Signature cuvées include:

• Fidèle – 100% Pinot Noir (Vouette & Biaunes), Brut Nature

• Blanc d’Argile – 100% Chardonnay (Biaunes)

• Saignée de Sorbée – Rosé of Pinot Noir (Sorbée)

• Textures – Pinot Blanc (Fonnet), amphora-aged

• Extrait – 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, extended lees aging

Each bottle expresses a pure, vinous, and terroir-driven style—sought after by collectors and sommeliers around the world.
