2019 Grains de Celles, Extra Brut, Pierre Gerbais

2019 Grains de Celles, Extra Brut, Pierre Gerbais

The Gerbais domaine is on the up. It's a name you'll want to note down. It's in the hands of talented young Aurélien Gerbais, whose wines are showing all the promise one would hope to find in a close neighbour and friend of Cédric Bouchard, whose pioneering work changed the way we think about low pressure, gentle wines from this southerly region of Champagne. Add to that his Burgundian philosophies, and his pursuit of the purity engendered in the wines of mentor and friend Olivier Lamy in St Aubin, and you'll soon realise these wines are not to be missed. The wine shows great vinous precision, with a layered expression spanning crisp red apple to salty preserved lemons, with a beautiful texture, gentle and refined. It’s a blend of 50% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, with 25% of one of Champagne’s rarer grapes, Pinot Blanc. It’s a fantastic launchpad to explore the rest of the Gerbais range. Disgorgement April 2022.
