Crafted using the traditional saignée method. Hand-harvested grapes are carefully selected to ensure the highest quality. Vinified and aged without added sulphur. A blend of base vintage and solera reserve wines dating back to 2011. A portion of the grapes undergo maceration for 24-48 hours, the rsulting wine is then aged for 36 months sur lattes. Wow!
Notes on the producer
Champagne Pierre Gerbais stands as a fourth-generation domaine nestled in the heart of the Aube. Today, Aurélien Gerbais leads the way with remarkable confidence balanced by a gentle demeanor and genuine humility. The estate boasts ancient vines, adheres to organic vineyard management practices, and embodies values of intelligence, respect, and passion. With a relentless drive for excellence and a commitment to relevance, Gerbais is poised to join the ranks of visionary champagne makers in the Aube. Among them are Aurélien’s esteemed friend and neighbor, Cédric Bouchard, along with other esteemed houses such as Marie Courtin, Jacques Lassaigne, Ulysse Collin, Horiot, and Vouette et Sorbée.
The Gerbais family now owns 18 hectares, 10 hectares of Pinot Noir, 4 hectares of Chardonnay, and a rarity, 4 hectares of Pinot Blanc. The winery and all the vineyards are located in Celles sur Ource, at the confluence of four valleys carved by the rivers Seine, Arce, Laigne and Ource.
