Description

Champagne Hervé Jestin
Clos de Cumières 2012

The Champagne Jestin Clos de Cumières 2012 is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay harvested from the same-name plot owned by Hervé together with his brother Yann. A vineyard of only 0.49 hectares, cultivated biodynamically, with vines over 50 years old.

This Clos de Cumières 2012 is the first edition vinified by the Maison Jestin, and all stages in the production of this Champagne, from vine cultivation to vinification, respect the cycles of nature and the major influences of the planets of the solar system.  

The grapes are harvested only on 'fruit days' as stipulated by the biodynamic calendar, fermented and aged in French oak barrels from the Allier forest, and malolactic fermentation takes place during the 10-month maturation on the lees. The Champagne Clos de Cumières was bottled in July 2013 and after about another 9 years of ageing it was degorged, with no dosage, in a limited and numbered edition of only 2,341 bottles.


Winery

Champagne Hervé Jestin

Hervé Jestin is a well-known personality on the Champagne wine scene. A professional consultant, he’s regarded as the greatest specialist in biodynamic agriculture and he has worked for major Maison including Philipponat, Duval Leroy and Leclerc Briant. Since 2006, Hervé Jestin has been the creator of an exceptional Vintage Cuvée, a Champagne made from Meunier grapes produced by Vincent Laval in Cumières and Chardonnay grapes grown by David Leclapart in Trépail, also cultivated according to the biodynamic agriculture philosophy. 

Following this approach, the grapes are harvested only on "fruit days" as planned in the biodynamic calendar, with the aim of obtaining products exclusively by working in harmony with the natural cycles and harnessing its energy. Production is very limited. The grape-pressing method used by Hervé Jestin involves gently pressing the grapes and the juice is left at room temperature for 24 hours. This method makes the juice clear and it avoids the cold thermal shock require by common winemaking practices.

Even the alcoholic fermentation, done in oak barrels old from two harvest and come from Allier forest, it always takes place at room temperature, and for this reason the exchange of "wood flavour" is minimal. 

Champagne Hervé Jestin takes on a completely new dimension that transcends the nature of the product itself; Hervé is a poet and his relationship with life in general and with the vine in particular makes him one of Champagne's most atypical characters.
