The Grains de Celles Extra Brut bottling is the exact same base wine as the non-vintage Brut from the Gerbais family, but with a dosage of three grams per liter. The cépages is fifty percent pinot noir and twenty-five percent each of chardonnay and pinot blanc and the current release is base year 2012. The nose is quite lovely, wafting from the glass in a blend of apple, white peach, bread dough and stony minerality. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and snappy, with frothy mousse, fine focus and grip and a long, minerally finish that closes with a youthful note of quinine. This is bone dry, but very nicely balanced. (Drink between 2016-2025)
