Pierre Gerbais Rosé Champagne: Dry & Smoky Pinot Noir from Kimmeridgian Terroir

Indulge in Pierre Gerbais’ exceptional rosé Champagne, crafted with meticulous care from sustainably grown Pinot Noir grapes in France’s renowned Champagne region. This non-vintage cuvée delivers a bold yet harmonious expression of terroir-driven elegance, perfect for those seeking a sophisticated sparkler with depth beyond traditional rosés.

Flavor Profile:
This dry rosé wine captivates with its rich hue and layered complexity—think toasted whole-grain bread intertwined with dried sultanas and a subtle smokiness reminiscent of cured tobacco leaves. Bright citrus peel accents add freshness to its savory core, while its silky texture lingers effortlessly on the palate. Unlike many fruit-forward alternatives, this wine’s nuanced balance makes it an ideal match for charcuterie platters or earthy dishes like salumi and aged cheeses.

Crafted with Care:
Rooted in the Côte des Bars subregion of Champagne near Celles-sur-Ource, Pierre Gerbais draws from Kimmeridgian soils, a unique blend of marl and limestone known for imparting mineral-rich character to wines. Since 1996, this estate has prioritized natural viticulture, certified under both Ampelos and High Environmental Value standards—a testament to its commitment to organic practices without synthetic additives. Grapes are sourced from 30-year-old vines cultivated through limited yields and mechanical tillage, ensuring concentrated flavors harvested at peak maturity.

The winemaking process shines through its 24-hour skin contact technique during vinification—a method that elevates color intensity while preserving aromatic finesse. This approach sets it apart from conventional rosés made by blending red wine into white base—a subtle detail that enhances its authenticity and depth of flavor.

Why Choose This Bottle?
With 12% alcohol content, this elegant yet approachable wine pairs beautifully with bold foods while remaining versatile enough for celebratory moments or casual dining. Its eco-conscious production aligns with modern preferences for sustainable luxury wines, making it a standout choice among Champagne enthusiasts seeking both quality and responsibility.

Elevate your table or toast-worthy occasion with Pierre Gerbais’ limited-production rosé, rated 90 points by Wine Spectator for its refined balance of earthy sophistication and crisp finish.
