We love a little vintage Champagne - given the hardship each vintage endures, you know it’s going to be thoughtful, considered, complex. Complex and generous, ripe round fruit like pear, cherries and yuzu, finished with electric acidity. A fascinating wine. Champagne Pierre Gerbais is a fourth generation domaine in the Aube, Champagne. Aurélien Gerbais leads the way these days, a confident and charismatic winemaker who projects a tranquil confidence that would be unnerving if he wasn’t so humble. At the domaine, there are old vines, organic vineyard management, intelligence, respect, passion, relevance, training and drive enough to take this house to the very top of a small band of visionary champagne makers in the Aube. For lovers of Marie Courtin, Voutette et Sorbée, Horiot and Ulysse Collin…Gerbais is a welcome treat.
