Champagne Blanc d'Argile from the Vouette et Sorbée wine estate comes from vines grown biodynamically on the Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils of the Biaune parcel in the Aube region. Rich in minerals, these soils give this high-flying Chardonnay a unique identity and a precise expression of its terroir. Extremely low yields are deliberately limited by Hélène and Bertrand Gautherot to around 30 hectolitres per hectare. The choice of a vertical press produces juices of incomparable precision, which are then placed in oak barrels for prolonged ageing. Disgorging is done on the fly, without dosage, to allow the complexity of this brut nature Champagne to fully express itself.
Philippe Mischler, sommelier at Mundovin : Hélène and Bertrand Gautherot make their Blanc d'Argile R20 from Chardonnay en sélection massale de Chablis, with the same care as for a great Burgundy wine. And when you close your eyes, you'll find a piece of Burgundy in your glass, sublimated by the radiant effervescence that exemplifies the talent of Domaine Vouette & Sorbée.
On the nose, Blanc d'Argile reveals a bouquet of deep, delicate aromas. Pure floral notes mingle with the roundness of ripe white fruit, creating a dreamy summer bouquet.
On the palate, the vibrant freshness of its fine, persistent bubbles and its perfect balance dominate at first taste. The creamy texture is enhanced by delicate fruity flavors, closely followed by a deep minerality with accents of fresh butter, nougat and chalk. The saline finish prolongs the tasting experience... until the next sip.
