Made from a single parcel named "La Loge," this bottle attracts lovers of terroir champagnes and enthusiasts seeking confidential cuvées. Its strong identity, aromatic precision, and refined texture make it a standout champagne in the world of sparkling wines.

Through this cuvée, the House Pierre Gerbais demonstrates its ability to produce champagnes with a strong personality, rooted in their origin.

Pierre Gerbais La Loge: a rare expression of Pinot Blanc

The Champagne Pierre Gerbais La Loge stands out for its atypical grape variety composition. This cuvée values Pinot Blanc, a grape variety historically present in Champagne but now a minority compared to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Located in Celles-sur-Ource, in the Côte des Bar, the family estate cultivates its vines with a philosophy that respects the soils and the living environment. This approach helps preserve the identity of the terroir while promoting great purity in the wines.

The parcel "La Loge" benefits from a specific environment that brings tension, depth, and balance to the wine. Each vintage thus reflects the natural nuances of the climate and soil.

The vinification relies on a measured intervention to allow the grape to express itself fully. The aging then adds complexity without masking the freshness of the fruit.

A house committed to respecting the terroir

The family estate places significant importance on sustainable viticulture. The cultural practices aim to preserve the soils and promote biodiversity.

Aromatic profile and tasting

In appearance, this cuvée reveals a bright robe with golden reflections and fine, persistent effervescence.

The nose gradually opens with notes of white fruits, fresh pear, delicate flowers, and citrus zest. With aeration, pastry-like and slightly spicy nuances sometimes emerge.

On the palate, the balance impresses immediately. The body remains precise, tense, and elegant. The texture gradually gains depth before a long, saline, and very persistent finish.

This finesse makes the Champagne Pierre Gerbais La Loge an ideal cuvée for lovers of identity-driven champagnes, far from standardized styles.

How to store this terroir cuvée?

The Champagne Pierre Gerbais La Loge deserves appropriate storage to preserve its aromatic precision.

A cool, dark, and stable cellar is ideal. A temperature close to 10 to 12°C promotes a harmonious evolution of the wine.

Even though this cuvée is expressive in its youth, a few years of aging often enhance its depth and complexity.

Before tasting, avoid a temperature that is too cold. An excessively chilled champagne loses part of its aromatic relief.
