Aurelien Gerbais went to wine school in Beaune, not Reims, which makes sense: if you grow up in the Aube you live closer to Burgundy than to the rest of Champagne. He worked with Olivier Lamy in St. Aubin, came home to Celles-sur-Ource, and still says he considers himself more Burgundian than Champenois. Grains de Celles is the flagship, half Pinot Noir, a quarter Chardonnay and a full quarter Pinot Blanc, a grape almost nobody in Champagne bothers with anymore, from the family's old plots on Kimmeridgian marl and limestone. Since the 2018 harvest he has stopped using reserve wine in this cuvee, so it is now a single-vintage bottling, and this one is all 2022, a warm and generous year in the Cote des Bar. Fermented in tank, aged more than thirty months on the lees, finished bone-dry at 3 g/L extra brut with very little sulfur. It is tangy and mineral with an unusual softness in the middle, and that is the Pinot Blanc talking.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Fried oysters, potato chips with creme fraiche, roast chicken, or a plate of charcuterie.

Tasting Profile

Dry and medium-bodied. Baked apple and lemon peel with bread crust, a soft, broad mid-palate from the Pinot Blanc, and a tangy, steely 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!
