Vouette & Sorbée

He called his cows the Marketing Department. Bertrand Gautherot, the spiritual father of the Côte des Bar, started with his family's vineyards in Buxières-sur-Arce in 1986. Since 1998, Champagne Vouette & Sorbée has carried the Demeter certification - as the first winery in the region. Richard Juhlin calls it „the only four-star estate outside the Marne“.

Five hectares on Kimmeridge and Portland limestone, geological siblings of Chablis. Spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts, maturation in wooden barrels, no dosage, no filtration, no sulphur. Every step by hand - from pruning to disgorging. Winemakers from de Bichery By Barrat-Masson name Gautherot as an inspiration. The wines: rare, sought-after, legendary.
