Pierre Gerbais Champagne Les Grande Cotes Pinot Noir Extra Brut

Pierre Gerbais Champagne Les Grandes Côtes Pinot Noir Extra Brut is a characterful grower Champagne that highlights the depth and finesse Pinot Noir can bring to the Côte des Bar. With its extra brut style and focused, site-driven personality, it offers a precise, elegant expression of one of Champagne’s most exciting terroirs.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a pale golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose leans toward red berries, citrus peel, white flowers, and subtle brioche or nutty notes, with a mineral edge that gives the wine clarity and lift. On the palate, expect a dry, energetic Champagne with bright acidity, ripe Pinot Noir fruit, and a crisp, chalk-inflected finish. The style is designed for freshness and detail rather than overt richness, though it has enough structure to develop gracefully over time.

Production
Made from Pinot Noir sourced from Les Grandes Côtes, the wine reflects the limestone and clay-rich soils of the Côte des Bar, a southern Champagne area known for adding texture and expressive fruit. Harvesting is typically done by hand in Champagne, and the extra brut dosage keeps the final wine taut and transparent, allowing the vineyard character to remain front and center.

Food & Serving
This Champagne pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, sashimi, smoked salmon, roast chicken, or aged hard cheeses. Serve chilled, ideally around 8-10°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a few minutes in the glass can help the aromas open up.

Producer
Pierre Gerbais is a respected grower-producer based in the Côte des Bar, where the family has built a reputation for crafting terroir-driven Champagnes with strong identity and precision. The estate is particularly admired for its work with Pinot Noir and for helping showcase the quality potential of this historically overlooked part of Champagne.
