Alcohol: 12%
Grape(s): Pinot Noir
Localization: Champagne, France
Tasting Notes: This has a bit of colour, and it’s not overly fizzy, enhancing its vinous qualities. Fresh with bright citrus, red cherries and a bit of apple. Complex and vinous with nectarine and glace cherry characters, and also a hint of mineral earthiness as well as lovely intensity and weight in the mouth.
The Domain: Champagne Vouette et Sorbée is one of the star growers in the Aube, in the south of the Champagne region.

Based in Buxières-sur-Arce, he has 5.5 hectares in the Côte des Bar, which are farmed biodynamically (certified by Demeter since 1998). Average vine age is over 20 years, and the soils are mostly Kimmeridgian marl. All the base wines are fermented in oak.
