"The NV Extra Brut La Loge is a pure Pinot Blanc from a perpetual reserve spanning the vintages 2011 to 2019. Both green and red apples are portrayed with aroma and enticing tartness on the nose of this unusual Pinot Blanc. On the palate, a sense of waxy apple skin takes over, supplemented by melon freshness and a translucent lemon brightness on a slender, bright and lemony body with pithy length." —Antonio Galloni

"Bursting with aromas of mint, orange zest, fresh bread, passionflower and quince, the NV Extra-Brut La Loge is medium to full-bodied, pillowy and incisive, with a fleshy and layered core of fruit, racy acids and a long, saline finish. It's produced from 80-year-old Pinot Blanc vines in a south-facing site and derives from a solera spanning the 2011-2018 vintages." —William Kelley

"The Gerbais family are fans of Pinot Blanc, an ancient grape variety. La Loge is a single-parcel cuvée made only with Pinot Blanc from a perpetual reserve (2011 to 2018), disgorged in May 2022 with an Extra-Brut dosage (less than 6g/L). The delicate and fresh bouquet evokes notes of pear, peach, spring flowers and spices. Full-bodied and well-textured, the structure is crystalline, elegant and refined, with a pinpoint mousse. A nice bitter note emerges in the finish" —Yohan Castaing

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.
