Pierre Gerbais Grains de Celles Extra Brut 2021

Discover Pierre Gerbais Grains de Celles Extra Brut, an emblematic cuvée from Domaine Pierre Gerbais, located in Celles-sur-Ource, in the Côte des Bar region. For eight generations, this 18-hectare family-run business, which is in the process of converting to organic farming, has been sublimating a Kimmeridgian terroir of marl and limestone, near Chablis, with sustainable viticulture.

This champagne blends 50% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Blanc, a rare grape variety that marks its uniqueness. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, with spontaneous, malolactic fermentation and 30 months' ageing on the lees, without fining or filtration, at a dosage of 3-4 g/l, guaranteeing freshness and purity.

To the eye, its pale gold color sparkles with fine bubbles. On the nose, tasting notes reveal aromas of white flowers, peach and pear, enhanced by a touch of spice. On the palate, the juicy, creamy texture, supported by limestone minerality, offers a refined, saline finish. Ideal as an aperitif or with seafood, this Grains de Celles embodies the accessible elegance and authenticity of Gerbais know-how.
