Until we were educated otherwise, we were of the impression that Champagne only came from the big houses; those buying up grapes from many different growers and then producing the wine to a signature house style that wasn't really in-keeping with our leaning towards expressions of smaller vineyard sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen we discovered grower Champagne - quite simply wine made by producers who work in both vineyard and cellar to see the whole process through themselves, and in so doing, seek to demonstrate the more specific terroir of their land, something that is really in opposition to widely-perceived notion of big brand Champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we first tried the Champagne of Vouette et Sorbée we knew we were tasting something different - brighter, more energy, definition and detail. Fidèle is a 'blanc de noir', meaning a white wine made with 100% red grapes, in this case Pinot Noir.

Work in the cellar is decidedly old-school, with natural fermentations, transfer from press to barrel via gravity and most importantly, no dosage (the process of adding sugar to achieve the final balance of the wine) after the bottles have been matured and disgorged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA more true expression, you might say. In terms of flavour, despite its beautiful golden appearance the wine shows lots of red cherry and strawberry fruit courtesy of the Pinot as well as a zesty, mineral vitality.

'Champ de Cour' is a single small parcel at just 0.4 hectares that ordinarily serves as a component of '\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/waywardwines.co.uk\/products\/elisa-guerin-la-vigne-de-mon-pere-moulin-a-vent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eLa Vigne de Mon Pere\u003c\/a\u003e'. Here we see a hyper-specific expression of terroir, this parcel singled out to make its own unique wine owing to its sandy decomposed granite soils having a high content of the manganese minerals - something closely associated with fine structure and ageability of wines from this cru. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most delicately-extracted of all her Moulin-à-Vent wines, here we have beautifully elevated floral aromas coiling around spices of peppercorn and capsicum flesh, with a pronounced petrichor minerality. Sleek and plush across the palate, pretty red and black fruits tail into an elegant finish of iron and wet stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom massal selection vines between 40 and 70 years of age, grapes were placed in large concrete tanks so go through a semi-carbonic maceration over a fortnight, the weight of the grapes at the top crushing those at the bottom of the tank and with just a couple of punch-downs towards the end of fermentation. It was then pressed off, half into old 220-litre barrels and half into fibreglass cuve to rest for 10 months, with no filtration before bottling. Only 1300 bottles made in total.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elisa Guerin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55919471690110,"sku":"WAY-GUERIN-CHAMP-23","price":43.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0605\/8259\/2742\/files\/ElisaGuerinChampdeCoeur.jpg?v=1761321852"}],"url":"https:\/\/waywardwines.co.uk\/collections\/ageworthy\/producer-martin-hirsch.oembed","provider":"Wayward Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
