About the Winery:
Gérin has been producing vines for more than 5 generations, transmitting its values and traditions through the years. Their vineyard is located at the foot of the Montagne de Reims and runs along the foothills of the Ardre Valley, 35 km from Epernay.
It covers 5.50 hectares. The vineyard is managed in a controlled way and has been certified since 2020, HVE3 (High Environmental Value Level 3) and VDC (Viticulture Durable en Champagne). The patchwork of mini-terroirs in this area permits us to obtain a wide range of basic wines vinified separately in stainless steel vats or in oak barrels before they are blended, for some, with reserve wines.
Since 2017, its director, Philippe Gantois, a graduate of the Paris Sommelier Association, is focused on bringing out the best in this Champagne terroir by creating exceptional champagnes, respecting the codes of excellence. All the staff of the House of Gérin work hard to contribute to the excellence of our champagnes… at each wine-making level, making it possible to maintain the quality of our champagnes…a true work of a goldsmith.
