The Gerbais family has resided in, and has owned land in, the village Celles-Sur-Ource since 1850. Aurélien is the eighth generation of the family to work the family vineyard, he joined his father, Pascal, at the family business in 2012. Aurélien has been responsible for the domaine’s wine-making since 2009. It was Aurélien’s father who decided, in 1996, that the family estate would be farmed, from that point onwards, using a natural viticulture, respectful of the environment. The estate comprises 15 hectares nowadays, having grown over the decades from the 0.40 hectares with which Ulysse Gerbais (the uncle of Aurélien’s grandfather, Pierre) set the domaine up in the 1950’s.
