Pierre Gerbais has been quietly rewriting expectations for Aube Champagne — biodynamic farming, single-parcel bottlings, and a willingness to lean on off-piste grapes including rare Pinot Blanc and 100% Meunier. Bochot is his first Blanc de Noirs, a single-parcel cuvée of 100% Pinot Meunier, a parcel-driven expression that puts terroir ahead of house style. Extra Brut dosage keeps everything taut and transparent. A grower Champagne for people who already drink a lot of grower Champagne.

"The NV Extra Brut Bochot is a pure Pinot Meunier from Celles-sur-Ource resulting from a perpetual reserve containing vintages 2016 to 2019. Smoke and the tart, alluring aroma of umeshu plum take center stage on the slender yet expansive palate of this bright, fresh wine. The finest bubbles pervade this brightness, adding energy and drive. This extra brut is unusual and beautifully citric on the long finish." —Antonio Galloni

"Derived from massal selection Pinot Meunier planted in 2012, Gerbais's NV Extra-Brut Bochot is drawn from a perpetual reserve spanning the 2016-2018 vintages. Offering up attractive aromas of honeyed peach, orange zest, licorice and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and elegant, with a fine, pillowy mouse, bright acids and an attractively chalky finish." —William Kelley

More about Pierre Gerbais

Whatever your school was like — football? yearbook editor? trigonometry? — it was no doubt quite different than wine school in Beaune, Burgundy. There, the likes of David Croix, Mathilde Grivot, Amélie Berthaut and Armand Heitz hung out drinking at Le Square and learning how to make wines. All of them are now on their way to becoming Burgundy’s new crop of stars.

Not everyone in that crowd ended up in Burgundy. Sometimes we forget how close Beaune is to Champagne, especially the Aube. If you grow up in the Aube, you actually live closer to Beaune than to Reims and many Aubois go to Beaune for schooling.

So it was that Aurélien Gerbais ended up in Beaune, palling around with many of Burgundy's future stars. He even worked at one of Burgundy's well-established stars, Olivier Lamy of St. Aubin. After that amazing hands-on experience he eventually made his way back to Champagne to join another group of visionaries, Aube stars like Cedric Bouchard, Vouette & Sorbée and Ulysse Collin. Even so, to this day he says, “I consider myself more Burgundian than Champenois.” That’s the Aube for you.

Gerbais’ family domaine is in the village of Celles-sur-Ource. The soils are Kimmeridgian, though there's a sector where the limestone-clay mix is nearly identical to what you find in the Côte d’Or. His family has farmed organically since the 1990s, but when Aurélien took over (this is recently; he’s still in his 20s) he brought Lamy’s obsessive farming home with him, elevating the domaine's game even further.
