Grains de Celles is Pierre Gerbais's portrait of his home village in Champagne's Aube, and it's built around a grape almost nobody else in the region still grows. The estate is about half Pinot Noir, with roughly a quarter each of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc, and the cuvée draws on parcels in proportion to the domaine's overall production. There are fewer than 100 hectares of Pinot Blanc left in all of Champagne, and growers here planted it as frost insurance because it buds and flowers later than the classic varieties. The fruit comes from parcels across Celles-sur-Ource, on Kimmeridgian marl and limestone in the Côte des Bar. That corner of the Aube has become a hotbed for growers since the early 2000s, home to names like Cédric Bouchard and Vouette et Sorbée. Aurélien Gerbais, the fourth generation, studied enology in Beaune, worked with Olivier Lamy and took over in 2011. In the vineyard he works the soil mechanically with no synthetic products, and the vines average over 40 years old. Since 2018 he has used no reserve wine in this cuvée, so each release is a snapshot of one year. This one is the 2022, in a 375ml bottle that makes grower Champagne an easy weeknight decision.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Warm gougères; a wedge of Chaource or other soft-ripened cow's-milk cheese; raw oysters with mignonette; fried chicken; smoked trout rillettes on toast.

Tasting Profile

Expect a Pinot Noir-led Côte des Bar Champagne: red apple, pear and a hint of red berry, with Pinot Blanc adding a soft floral, orchard-fruit roundness. It's typically light-bodied and fine-beaded, with a chalky, mineral edge from the Kimmeridgian soils and bright acidity. The low-dosage Extra Brut style keeps the finish dry, crisp and clean.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
