Why to buy: Join the cult following that Bertrand Gautherot's Vouette & Sorbee has among Champagne lovers from Paris to New York to San Francisco. You will fall in love with Fidele! Voette & Sorbee is a tiny production and only recently available in the United States. Organic and biodynamic farming are in place at this gorgeous little farm along with the use of only indigenous yeasts and barrel fermentation.

Nose, palate and pairing: This Champagne is full-bodied yet discreetly effervescent. It’s got layers of quince, baking spice and brioche on the nose and flavors of pear, autumnal spices, and butter on the palate. Such an intensely focused wine pairs wonderfully with a hearty entrée such as duck or a grilled steak.

Varietals: 100% Pinot Noir
Alcohol: 10.5%
Appellation: Champagne A.O.C. Buxière-sur-Arce

We Love This With

Don't be afraid to pair such a voluptuous Champagne with a bold entrée. Muscovy duck is the perfect match for such a full-bodied sparkler. Muscovy ducks are lean yet tender and—when roasted with an assortment of spices—they will help accent the sweet spice note in the wine.

 

Tasting panelist, Laura Maniec, loves this wine with duck, particularly with a duck ragù over papardelle.  For the holidays, Laura is serving this wine with one of Brooklyn's own Jive Fried Turkeys.
