Pascal, Pierre and Aurélien Gerbais manage 14 hectares of vineyards, mainly planted with pinot noir and chardonnay, but also with meunier and a "forgotten" grape variety: pinot blanc vrai. The vines produce a fine range of Champagnes, all of which are made here in the family press: Réserve, Rosé, L'Audace, Rosé de Saignée, Coteaux Champenois Rouge, Prestige and the jewel in the crown, "l'Originale", a 100% pinot blanc Champagne, an extremely rare and astonishing wine to pack in your suitcases and impress your guests!

The house's vines, planted in the late ^19th century, enabled Marcel Vézien to create his own champagne in 1956. The cuvée Effervescence 56 bears witness to this. Today, the house boasts some twenty hectares. The range bears highly poetic names: Secret d'Éclairés, Lumière de l'Aube, Nuit de Rubis, Celles que j'aime, Terre d'Artistes and Souvenir d'Ancêtres. We've also fallen in love with their well-crafted rosé des Riceys, ratafia and marc de champagne. With them, cultivating the "home-made" spirit really pays off!

A real favorite is the "Les Vieux Millésimes" collection, the oldest of which dates back to 1966. These deep, complex wines have a striking aura. The Cuvée Secrète, blended with pinot noir, chardonnay, pinot blanc, pinot meunier, arbane and petit meslier, should not leave you unmoved either!

Founded by Edmond Cheurlin at the age of seventeen, in 1898, in the small village of Celles-sur-Ource, the Cheurlin family estate has been the object of patient family attention that has endured over the generations. The vineyard is spread over five communes, all of which have their own particularities (sunshine, acidity...). All the plots are vinified separately and the cuvées are made by blending two years, which brings balance and regularity. These cuvées are six in number:Carte noire, Réserve, Rosé, Cuvée Prestige, Chardonnay, Millésimé.
