Goutorbe-Bouillot
Located in the village of Damery just west of Epernay. Family owned and run since 1911, the 8 hectares of 30 different parcels of vineyards extend over the Vallée de la Marne with a focus on Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir grapes. The union between Jules Goutorbe and Louise Bouillot was the origin of the creation of Champagne GOUTORBE BOUILLOT.
The average age of the vineyard parcels is around 35 years old , though some parcels were planted in 1930 and are almost a century old. With great care for quality and the health of the vines, Goutorbe Bouillot is now certified as "viticulture durable".
The soil is composed of clay and limestone and the plots are grassy. Since respect for the environment is a real priority, tillage is done with a plow. The primary objective is to maintain soil fertility. Goutorbe Bouillot champagne works in "soléra", in other words according to the principle of perpetual reserve which is a large part of the identity of the house. . This means that the wine contains some of all the earlier vintages in decreasing proportions. This perpetual reserve was started in 1980 for the Carte d'Or and in 2000 for the other non vintage cuvees. The aim is to give more. Thus old wines bring their wisdom to younger wines. The result is complex and balanced wines thanks to thirty years old blend.
