Champagne Pierre Gerbais is an eight-generation family estate in Celles-sur-Ource, in Champagne's southern Côte des Bar. Today, Aurélien Gerbais continues the family's commitment to thoughtful vineyard management and expressive, low-dosage Champagnes. The estate is particularly celebrated for its work with Pinot Blanc, a grape rarely seen in Champagne but one that plays a starring role in several of its wines.
Grains de Celles brings together fruit from vineyards across the village, rooted in the region's distinctive Kimmeridgian limestone and marl. Unusually, Pinot Blanc makes up a quarter of the blend, adding texture and generosity alongside the structure of Pinot Noir and freshness of Chardonnay. Fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and aged extensively on its lees, this Extra Brut Champagne offers remarkable character with very little added sugar.
Fresh pear, golden apple and lemon zest meet toasted brioche, white flowers and a hint of almond. Fine, lively bubbles carry generous fruit across the palate, balanced by bright acidity and a chalky, mouthwatering finish. Delicious with oysters, roast chicken, seafood or simply a bowl of good potato chips. A wonderfully versatile Champagne that proves the Côte des Bar deserves its growing reputation.
