“Bertrand Gautherot has become an icon of sorts—a symbol of the rebellious nature of the Aube-making Champagnes so different from the posher types in the Marne as to seem like he's on a different planet. Certainly Gautherot has no love for the big market forces up north. In his mind they have, for decades, come south to buy grapes on the cheap, essentially slumming it; he acquired this view from his grandfather, who got tired of the opportunism.”
-Jon Bonné, The New French Wine
Fidèle is 100% Pinot Noir mainly from the lieux-dits of Fonnet and Briaunes with additional Pinot from the other parcels Bertrand farms. Fermented in oak, then 20 months sur latte, then finished without any dosage. Deep color, distinct red fruits, forward and lush. Vinous, lively, and dangerously tasty.
