Pierre Gerbais Champagne Extra Brut Champ Viole NV CRV10 and Pinot Noir 25%Champ Viole is one of Pierre Gerbais's most personal cuves, a single parcel Extra Brut that captures the chalk, clay, and Kimmeridgian limestone of Celles sur Ource. Gerbais farms biodynamically and bottles with conviction no two cuves feel quite the same, and Champ Viole has a particularly stony, savory profile that rewards a real glass and a little time. A grower Champagne built more like a still white wine than a party bubbly.
