"We're in a new period for Champagne - before it was all about image, now it's all about wine," says the softly spoken and quick-to-smile Bertrand Gautherot of Vouette et Sorbée. A return to organic farming, indigenous yeasts, fully mature grapes, less chaptalisation, and lower dosage - especially among the grower movement - is resulting in wines that capture the taste of a place, not of a brand. But climate change and viticultural improvements have also helped English - and Welsh - sparkling wines come of age. What better way to witness the roots of our own growers' scene, as well as the Champagne renaissance, than with this mixed case.
