Champagne "La Loge" Extra Brut

The "La Loge" Extra Brut Champagne is produced by Domaine Pierre Gerbais using 100% Pinot Blanc grapes.

We are located near the village of Celles-sur-Ource, a small municipality in the Côte des Bar, where the cultivation of Pinot Blanc is more widespread than in other areas of Champagne. Domaine Pierre Gerbais owns 4 hectares of vineyards planted with Pinot Blanc, which they call "Vrai", and the grapes from the lieu-dit La Loge are vinified in steel and then blended with perpetual reserve wines ranging from 2011 to 2018. Then dosed Extra Brut at 3 g/L and produced in only 3239 bottles, the La Loge Champagne rests for 36 months on its lees.

The Winery: Pierre Gerbais

The history of this winery dates back to 1920 when Pierre Gerbais decided to cultivate his first vines in Celles-sur-Ource, a small municipality in the Côte des Bar, a lesser-known but continuously growing area in Southern Champagne in terms of reputation. The production area, known for its warmer climate compared to other parts of Champagne, is characterized by clay-limestone soils that give a unique profile to Pierre Gerbais' wines. The over 40 hectares of vineyards are mainly planted with Chardonnay grapes, but also Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc, and only 2% with Pinot Meunier, which adapt well to the specific terroir of the Côte des Bar.

A distinctive element of Cantina Pierre Gerbais is their commitment to organic farming and the production of undosed champagnes, a choice that reflects their artisanal approach and the philosophy of fully expressing the character of the terroir in their wines.

The clay-limestone soils, combined with the winery's meticulous and sustainable approach, contribute to creating champagnes of great freshness, finesse, and complexity.
