Vouette et Sorbee Champagne Rose Brut Nature Saignee de Sorbee NV
Gautherot produces some of the most terroir-driven, vinous Champagnes in the region. Saignée de Sorbée is his singular rosé, made from 100% Pinot Noir grown in the lieu-dit of Sorbée, a vineyard rich in clay and limestone that lends depth and structure to the wine. Crafted using the saignée method, this is not a delicate, pale rosé but rather a bold, structured Champagne with intensity and grip. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in used oak barrels, it is bottled without dosage, allowing its raw, unfiltered character to shine.
Deeply colored and aromatic, Saignée de Sorbée is a rosé Champagne unlike any other. The nose is wild and expressive, with notes of crushed raspberries, blood orange, hibiscus, and smoky earth, intertwined with hints of spice and dried herbs. On the palate, it is dense and powerful, revealing layers of macerated red berries, tart cherry, and citrus zest, all wrapped in a firm mineral core. The texture is almost tannic, a result of the extended skin contact, yet balanced by a laser-focused acidity that keeps the wine fresh and energetic. The finish is long and savory, with a saline note that speaks to its limestone-rich origins.
This is a Champagne for lovers of structured, food-friendly rosés—pair it with duck breast, charcuterie, or even roasted lamb with Provençal herbs. It also has the depth to complement rich seafood dishes like grilled tuna or lobster with saffron. Saignée de Sorbée is Champagne at its most intense and uncompromising—a true reflection of Gautherot’s bold, naturalist vision.
