Champagne Pierre Gerbais 2021 Champ Viole Blanc de Blancs 750ml

The Champagne Pierre Gerbais Champ Viole is a refined, 100% Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs from the Côte des Bar, crafted from a historic south-facing parcel in Celles-sur-Ource on Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils. Based on a perpetual reserve starting in 2011 and aged on lees for at least 36 months, this Extra Brut (3g/l) displays a taut, mineral-driven profile. On the nose, it is highly aromatic, offering fresh notes of lemon blossom, green apple, white peach, and nuances of buttery pastry. The palate is vibrant and textured, balancing intense, steely acidity and saline minerality with a rich, fleshy core of stone fruit and a creamy, long-lasting finish. It is a bright, precise champagne that captures a delicate balance between electric tension and delicate fruit complexity.
