Under the leadership of Pascal Gerbais and his son Aurélien, the family estate at Celles-sur-Ource became one of the most unique and ambitious on the Côte des Bar. Returning in 2011, Aurélien continues the work of his forebears, bringing his own vision of the wines of the southern Champagne region. Focusing on the parcellaires from the perpetual reserves initiated in 2011, the range has been revamped to magnify the complex expression of pinot noir, chardonnay,and the original pinot blanc from the Kimmeridgian marls of Celles-sur-Ource. Here, the champagnes are full-bodied, crafted with great precision and delicate bubbles. Year after year, the estate confirms its position as one of the benchmarks in the sector.
The Cave de Famille catalogue includes several cuvées: Grains de Celles, a fruity champagne blended from the 3 grape varieties, which is also available as a rosé. L’Osmose and Champ Violesare both 100% chardonnay, Grandes Cotes is made from pinot noir and pinot blanc, and La Loge and l’Unique are both 100% pinot blanc. The house also offers a coteaux champenois.
