Vouette et Sorbee, Blanc d'Argile, Magnum

This final bottle is a Vouette & Sorbée "Blanc d'Argile" Brut Nature, a prestigious grower Champagne produced by Bertrand Gautherot in Buxières-sur-Arce. Consistent with the rest of your collection, this is a 150cl (1.5 Liter) Magnum. • Release Specifics: Your label shows this bottle was disgorged on 21-01-21 and is from the R18 release (based on the 2018 harvest). • The Wine: "Blanc d'Argile" is a Blanc de Blancs, meaning it is made from 100% Chardonnay. Unlike many Champagnes grown on chalk, these vines grow in Kimmeridgian clay (similar to the soils of Chablis), which gives the wine a distinctively mineral and saline character. • Winemaking Style: Bertrand Gautherot is a pioneer of biodynamic farming in Champagne. The wine is fermented with native yeasts in oak barrels, bottled without filtration, and has zero dosage (no added sugar), making it a "Brut Nature". • Tasting Profile: • Nose: Aromas of citrus, white flowers, and white peach, alongside complex notes of toasted brioche and pastry from oak aging. • Palate: It is known for its intense energy and "chiseled" precision. You can expect a vinous, textured mouthfeel with flavors of lemon curd, green apple, and a striking salty finish.
