The Gerbais family has been growing vines in Celles-sur-Ource for eight generations, and making wine since 1930. After the Second World War, Pierre Gerbais began investing heavily in vineyard land: while he started with just 0.4 Hectares of vines, the domaine has grown to nearly 18 hectares today.
His son Pascal is now at the helm of the estate, and since 2009, Pascal’s son Aurélien has been working together with the family as well. Responsible agriculture is at the heart of the Gerbais philosophy, and since 1996, the estate has been a member of Ampelos, an organization that controls and certifies sustainable viticulture.
Ampelos allows no chemical fertilizers, herbicides or insecticides, and Gerbais grows cover crops where appropriate, ploughing the vineyards regularly as well. Gerbais owns both a traditional vertical press and a pneumatic one, and while it’s necessary to have multiple presses for an estate of this size, he notes that the characters of the two are different.
“The extraction in the traditional press is more precise, since it takes a longer time,” he says. “It’s better for certain terroirs.”
All of the wines are fermented in tank,
“for precision, and to respect the terroir,”
says Gerbais, although he has begun using some demi-muids (600 litre capacity Barrels) for ageing. All of the wines go through malolactic fermentation, and they are bottled without fining or filtration. Peter Liem – TheChampagneGuide.net
Pierre Gerbais Champagne at Your Fingertips
As with all social and interest groups, it is important as a member to contribute in some way to the growth and learning of your peers. Those who are simply there to meet others will quickly fall by the wayside and reveal the true connoisseurs. Among this elite group, healthy competition will undoubtedly arise as they vie to prove the extent of their knowledge. Champagne connoisseurs are much more niche, but an incredibly vibrant group and so, finally there is a place in Australia where appreciating the difference between a Pierre Gerbais champagne and a Henriot champagne exists.
That place is here at Emperor Champagne, Australia’s exclusive club for those that appreciate the finer things in life, and the craft behind the bubbly. In our online store, champagne rules and is taken extremely seriously. All of the wines that you will find in our extensive collection were expertly curated to offer those that are seeking out a new boutique champagne to impress and start a trend among your followers, as well as those that want to turn heads and expand minds at the next dinner party to really flex their muscles.
Our team is dedicated to seeking out and supplying the best of the best, no matter if they come from the biggest names or the hidden, as yet, unknown producers. The end result is a one-stop shop where champagne lovers and those interested in developing their appreciation of the etiquette and story behind it can come together.
Gerbais Champagne’s Vine Status
Here at Emperor Champagne, Gerbais champagne is one of our most popular brands. We are constantly restocking this wonderfully priced, exquisite tasting offering, but what’s the difference and why are people constantly craving it?
Perhaps it has something to do with the methods by which their champagne is produced. AMPELOS, which comes from the Ancient Greek word for “vine”, have certified this house since 1996. This means that when you buy a bottle of champagne from house Pierre Gerbais, you can feel absolutely confident of the fact that the team responsible have taken great care for the environment in the development of the high-quality grapes that make their product.
At Pierre Gerbais no artifice or excess exists in their vineyards and grape varieties. What’s more, there is a long history of champagne production in the soil that they use, with some of their oldest vines lasting over one hundred years, and the average vine giving up to three decades of service. This rich history gives the kind of dimension and depth to their singular taste that is seldom rivalled.
Be Part of the Champagne Community
At Emperor Champagne, we appreciate that the Australian marketplace has been underserved and has suffered from a lack of quality for far too long. To this end, we have made it possible to access a huge variety of curated champagnes, and join a club that affords you access to our famed leader, Kyla Kirkpatrick’s incredible knowledge.
We believe that a Pierre Gerbais Cuvee de Reserve or a Pierre Gerbais Grains de Celles is a superb choice, and countless customers appear to be in complete agreement with us, based on our need to replenish stock on a near continual basis. However, when you join the Emperor Champagne Club, you stand to benefit from new champagnes delivered to your door every month, as well as membership to a club of like-minded connoisseurs.
So, whether it’s a one-off bottle of the best for that special occasion, or a desire to be part of the champagne loving community, you’ll find everything you need and much more here at Emperor Champagne.
