Champagne Goutorbe-Bouillot

Since 1980, the Domaine has embraced the "solera" or "perpetual reserve" method, an emblem of their dedication to crafting nuanced and exceptional Champagnes. A noteworthy aspect of their craft is the meticulous blending of vintages, with some creations boasting a fusion of wines aged for over 30 years.

Like the Solera system, Goutorbe-Bouillot utilises 50% of its annual reserve in the yearly blend. This intricate dance results in a wine that bears the imprints of bygone vintages, each contributing to a symphony of flavours and textures. The inception of this perpetual reserve dates back to 1980 for the Carte d’Or, extending to other non-vintage cuvées in 2000.

One of their stellar creations, a blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, undergoes no malolactic fermentation. The result is a wine of remarkable depth, offering a compelling interplay of rich, gripping textures, aromatic intricacies, abundant brioche notes, and a resplendent lemony finish.
