Champagne Jestin is a very young house founded in 2006 by Hervé Jestin, a pioneer and world-renowned expert in organic and biodynamic viticulture.
This 2009 Vintage is the fourth vintage from the Jestin house. It is a blend of 25% Pinot Meunier from Cumières, from the George Laval estate, 50% Chardonnay from Trépail, from the David Léclapart estate, and 25% Pinot Noir from Bouzy, from the Benoît Lahaye estate. The grapes are harvested on fruit days. This unique sourcing is probably the best in organic viticulture in Champagne.
With these extraordinary grapes, Hervé Jestin has produced a cuvée of remarkable precision. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels from the Allier region. Malolactic fermentation takes place during the 10-month aging period on lees.
In July 2010, after the vines had flowered and after the summer solstice, the wine was bottled.
