Pierre Gerbais La Loge is a distinctive Extra Brut Champagne from Celles-sur-Ource in the Côte des Bar, crafted entirely from the rare Pinot Blanc Vrai grape. Grown on Kimmeridgian marl and limestone, it reveals fresh pear, quince and citrus alongside white flowers, subtle pastry notes and a distinctive mineral character.
On the palate, it is precise and energetic, with fine bubbles and vibrant acidity bringing freshness to ripe orchard and stone fruit. A delicate, layered texture is complemented by citrus zest, subtle savoury notes and pronounced saline minerality. Built from a perpetual reserve begun in 2011 and given extended bottle ageing, it finishes long, dry and beautifully focused.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Champagne drinkers looking to explore the distinctive character of Pinot Blanc beyond the region’s more familiar varieties. Its combination of fine bubbles, vibrant acidity, generous fruit and saline minerality makes it particularly versatile with food. Ideal with oysters, scallops, ceviche, grilled prawns, fresh goat’s cheese or delicate seafood dishes.
