Pierre Gerbais is a fourth-generation grower based in Celles-sur-Ource, in the Côte des Bar, Champagne’s southernmost region. Long under-the-radar, this area is now known for ripe, expressive Pinot Noir and forward-thinking producers like Gerbais who emphasize terroir and sustainability.

“Grains de Celles” is the domaine’s flagship cuvée, a blend of roughly 50% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, and 25% Pinot Blanc—the latter being a rarity in Champagne and a nod to Gerbais' old family plots. The wine is vinified in stainless steel, aged on the lees for around 3 years, and bottled with a low Extra Brut dosage (~3–4 g/L).

The result is a Champagne that’s bright and textured, with notes of baked apple, lemon peel, fresh bread, and white flowers, plus a gentle creaminess and mineral drive. It balances ripeness and energy with grace, and offers real grower character at a very approachable price.

Robert Parker

"The NV Grains de Celles Extra Brut is 100% Côte de Bar and assembles all the 20 different parcels cultivated by the family, which adds up to 50% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Blanc. Based on 2012 (with less than 5% réserve wines) it was disgorged in December 2015 with three grams of dosage. The wine opens a bit reductive and displays a clear, intense fruit and brioche aromas. Full-bodied, creamy and round on the palate, but also pure and very elegant, this is a bone dry Champagne to be served with food. Good intensity and character in the finish."

"Based in Celles-sur-Ource in the Seine Valley on the Côte des Bar, this producer's nonvintage wine is ripe despite its dry extra brut dosage. With the unusual proportion of 25% Pinot Blanc in the blend, it is smooth and soft, finishing with just the right tangy acidity and a steely texture."

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!
