The Making of Vintage 2008 Hervé Jestin Champagne

The Vintage 2008 of Hervé Jestin Champagne is the result of a blend combining 50% Chardonnay from Trépail, 25% Pinot Meunier from the terroir of Cumières, and 25% Pinot Noir grown in Bouzy. These grapes come from exceptional domains committed to rigorous organic viticulture: David Léclapart, Georges Laval, and Benoît Lahaye. Harvested on fruit days, these grapes embody the excellence and purity of the great Champagne terroirs.

Hervé Jestin applies a vinification process based on biodynamic practices. Each grape variety is fermented and aged separately in French oak barrels from Allier for 10 months. During this period, malolactic fermentations are carefully conducted, influenced by natural rhythms and lunar cycles. Once the aging is complete, the wine is bottled in July, after the blooming and summer solstice, a key step to ensure harmony and aromatic depth.
