Vouette & Sorbée
The domaine is based in Buxières-sur-Arce, in the Côte des Bar, and is run by Bertrand Gautherot. The estate has been practicing certified biodynamic farming for over twenty years, in an area historically intended to supply grapes to the major maisons.
The approach treats Champagne as a still wine: fermentation in barrels with indigenous yeasts, no filtration, no dosage, and sulfur kept to a minimum. The cuvées come from individual parcels on Kimmeridgian soils, the same as those of Chablis.
The range includes Blanc d'Argile made from Chardonnay, Fidèle and Extrait made from Pinot Noir, and Saignée de Sorbée for the rosé. Volumes are limited and intermittent. Controlled storage, verified provenance.
