Champ Viole is one of Pierre Gerbais's most personal cuvées, 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 cuvées 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.
