Gerbais colors their rose the Champenois way, by adding still red wine, except the red is their own. Grains de Celles Rose is built on the same base as the flagship, roughly 55% Pinot Noir, 22.5% Chardonnay and 22.5% Pinot Blanc, with about a tenth of the blend coming from the estate's Coteaux Champenois Rouge, the still Pinot Noir they make in Celles-sur-Ource. Aurelien Gerbais farms fifteen hectares here in the Cote des Bar, on Kimmeridgian limestone that has more in common with Chablis than with the Marne, and he keeps an unusually high share of the near-forgotten Aube Pinot Blanc alongside the classic grapes. Since 2018 this has been a single-vintage cuvee with no reserve wine, so the bottle is all 2022; it rests more than thirty months on lattes and is finished at 3 g/L extra brut. The result is one of the most gastronomic rose Champagnes around: savory, lifted, never confected, never sweet.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Polaner Selections has to say about this wine:

Varietal Notes

50% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Blanc

Biodynamic

Practicing

Vineyard

a blend of all sites from the village, in the proportion that they are planted

Orientation

South, north and west

Soil

Kimmeridgian & Portlandian

Vinification

Pinot Noir (50%), Chardonnay (25%), Pinot Blanc (25%), with a portion of the Pinot Noir blended as vin rouge. Gentle Coquard pressing, gentle sedimentation followed by primary alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel, started with pied de cuve, without control for malolactic.

Aging

Bottling in Spring/Summer after the harvest and sur lattes for 36+ months before disgorgement. Post-disgorgement aging for at least 6 months prior to release

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Crispy duck breast with cherry sauce, salmon tartare with capers, charcuterie and aged Comte, beet and goat cheese salad with walnuts, roast chicken with lemon, or a ham and gruyere croque-monsieur.

Tasting Profile

Dry, lifted and savory, with cranberry, wild strawberry, pink grapefruit and a hint of orange peel. Crisp acidity, fine mousse, and a chalky, faintly herbal finish.

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!
