‘Fidele R-19’

Pinot Noir, Champagne, France

Despite only bottling their own Champagnes less than 20 years ago, Vouette et SorbĂ©e, led by Bertrand Gautherot, has quickly become a benchmark for the Aube and is now one of Champagne’s top producers, period. A great deal of focus is on farming – the vineyards are certified biodynamic, manually harvested and fermented with natural yeasts and minimal sulphur. FidĂšle is their flagship cuvĂ©e, a texture-rich blanc de noirs with the slightest tint, deep spice & an expansive, chalky minerality. Unusually, these Champagnes are only aged for 20 months, instead of the usual 36 required for vintage designation – don’t get it twisted though, there’s no shortage of complexity here! Notes of cherry, candied ginger, preserved lemon, crabapple tart, grapefruit pulp, a fistful of green herbs & soaring acid, followed by a Running of the Bulls moment of toasted macadamia, high tide perlage, dirty shiitakes & a kiss of salted caramel. A stunning treatise to the promising future of Champagne, this is the rare sparkling worth a very careful decant – pair with lobster ravioli, corn cheesecake and the most beautiful stemware you own.
