2009 | Jestin | Vintage Extra Brut

Beautiful wine. On the nose, it has a tremendously powerful expression and intensity. The first distinct note is fresh melted organic Swiss butter, reminiscing a lovely summer day. This initial expression is nicely accompanied by white flowers, yellow apples, honey and dark caramel. The yellow apples transcended onto the palate along with brioche, almonds, candied lemons, kiwi and conch shells. A creamy velvety sensation, but the acidity is still sharp and present. Perfectly balanced, persistent and rounded.

Reviews:

• Adrian van Velsen: Wow, what a nose, citric notes, quince jelly, herbs, curry spice, turmeric, smoke, stone, spiced bread, cloves, laurel, a poem. Creamy and soft on the palate, a mouthful of wine, immensely charming, ripe fruit, voluminous and yet with captivating finesse, building up more and more pressure, ensnaring the tongue with the finest fruit, supported by a top acid structure, that's not only very good, that is excellent!

Producer Information

Hervé Jestin is an oenologist who is well-known in champagne circles. He is considered the specialist in biodynamics for sparkling wines. He divides his time between his position as Champagne Leclerc Briant's Chef du Cave, and professional advisor to other prestigious properties in France and abroad, essentially those practicing biodynamics, and making his own champagnes. Since 2006, he has produced his own vintage champagne from grapes cultivated by Vincent Laval in Cumières, David Léclapart in Trépail, Benoit Lahaye in Bouzy. At all stages from the cultivation of the vines to the vinification of this Champagne it is all about respecting the natural cycles of nature and the main influences of the planets of the solar system. The inner planets of the solar system thus have a very strong influence on the alcoholic fermentations, while from the month of March the outer planets act on the malolactic fermentation. All of Herve Jestin's work as a winemaker revolves around learning and listening to wine, to work with intelligence and awareness of the nature around us.
