Thanks to all who joined in on #SOmmChat today with me - I enjoyed talking to you all and thx to @keepcoll for having me here today

[Gerbais Aurélien @AurelienGerbais]

A. @KeeperColl After that I workout to stay healthy! #SommChat

[Gerbais Aurélien @AurelienGerbais]

A. @KeeperColl I’m an epicurean foremost & rest of my time is spent w/ the people I love in front of a good meal w/ fine #wines. #SommChat

[Gerbais Aurélien @AurelienGerbais]

@keepercoll - we did a big selection process in 2013 and lost 20% of production to maintain quality #SomMChat

[Gerbais Aurélien @AurelienGerbais]

@keepercoll 2013 was very wet w/lot of rain &complicated quality-ppl who don't want too much production saved the Quality #SOmmChat

[Gerbais Aurélien @AurelienGerbais]

A. @KeeperColl And particularly wines from #Burgundy and #Rhone Valley. #SommChat

[Gerbais Aurélien @AurelienGerbais]

A. @KeeperColl I like all #wines, if they are energetic and tense for whites and fine and elegant for reds. #SommChat

[Gerbais Aurélien @AurelienGerbais]

A. @KeeperColl My grandfather was 1 of few ppl who cared abt potential of concentration of this grape variety in the old plots. #SommChat

[Gerbais Aurélien @AurelienGerbais]

A. @KeeperColl Our Pinot Blanc are among the oldest of #Champagne. #SommChat

[Gerbais Aurélien @AurelienGerbais]

@PaulBWasserman Work w/ same #terroir, but w/ a diff. approach. Cedric likes generosity & richness-we luv tension & minerality #sommchat

[Gerbais Aurélien @AurelienGerbais]

A. @KeeperColl This is what rocks the vinification of our Gerbais #wines today. #SommChat

[Gerbais Aurélien @AurelienGerbais]

A. @KeeperColl He is never satisfied & always seeks 2 get back; challenging 2 produce gr8 #wines of Saint Aubin more & more pure. #SommChat

[Gerbais Aurélien @AurelienGerbais]

A. @KeeperColl Olivier Lamy @domainelamy is sort of my spiritual father. It is with him that I realized my first #winemaking. #SommChat

[Gerbais Aurélien @AurelienGerbais]

A. @KeeperColl And the #Burgundian tradition for work well done in the service of vines and #wine. #SommChat

[Gerbais Aurélien @AurelienGerbais]

A. @KeeperColl #Burgundy is where I learned abt diversity & complexity of Terroir across #wine-concept of quality over quantity. #SommChat

[Gerbais Aurélien @AurelienGerbais]

A. @KeeperColl I left my native #Champagne very young to study in #Burgundy for 5 years. #sommchat

[Gerbais Aurélien @AurelienGerbais]

A. @KeeperColl This is the ability 2 offer a #wine which will provide great & immediate pleasure without any artifice or frills. #SommChat

[Gerbais Aurélien @AurelienGerbais]

A. @KeeperColl This is for us a best interpretation of the Terroir & the definition of Terroir is more precise. #SommChat
