Champagne H. Goutorbe Cuvee Prestige

About the Producer

The Goutorbe family has been producing estate-bottled champagne in Ay since the late 1940s, but even before that, they were already established as pepinieristes, nurserymen for propagating vine cuttings. Emile Goutorbe established the nursery business just after the First World War, while he was the vineyard manager for Perrier-Jouet, and the success of this business eventually allowed him to purchase some parcels of vines in the area. His son Henri created the Goutorbe label, bottling and selling some champagne while continuing the nursery business.
