Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The 2013 vintage — late and naturally acidic — lends a remarkable saline tension, heightened by the Extra Brut dosage of just 1 g/L.
Roundness
Ageing in Allier oak barrels and terracotta amphorae contributes a generous, creamy texture.
Power
With Pinot Noir at 50%, the wine gains a deep aromatic backbone of gentle spice and dark fruit.
Length
More than ten years on lees deliver a finish of rare complexity, threading through flint, roasted hazelnut and dried apricot.

TASTING NOTES

A golden robe with amber highlights, fine and persistent bubbles — testament to ten years of slow ageing on lees. On the nose, notes of toasted bread, roasted hazelnut and candied pear intertwine with a saline, iodine-laced minerality of remarkable precision. On the palate, the acid tension of the 2013 vintage frames a creamy, generous texture, leading to a long, clean finish of flint, Virginia tobacco and dried apricot.

Terroirs

From the Clos de Cumières, a historic micro-plot of 0.54 ha on the Premier Cru of Cumières, planted by massal selection in 1964–1965. The equal-parts blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir expresses the clay-limestone duality of this rare terroir on the left bank of the Marne.

About this house

Champagne Hervé Jestin is an artisan house based in Épernay, founded by Hervé and his brother Yann — former cellar masters at Leclerc Briant — who took over this historic Clos de Cumières in 2011, one of the oldest enclosed vineyards in Champagne, dating to the 18th and 19th centuries. They follow a rigorous biodynamic and bioenergetic approach, tending their vines on fruit days and ageing their wines in Allier oak barrels and terracotta amphorae.

Their philosophy is one of living viticulture: respect for lunar cycles, hand-harvesting, extended lees ageing, and dosages kept to an absolute minimum. The Clos de Cumières, a confidential cuvée limited to a few thousand bottles, has made this discreet house an undisputed benchmark among Champagne's artisan growers.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Aperitif

Its saline minerality and minimalist dosage make it an exceptional companion to fine de claire oysters, amplifying their iodine and briny freshness.

Starter

Starter

The tertiary complexity born of long ageing — hazelnut, dried mushroom, subtle controlled oxidation — finds a natural counterpart in morels, whose umami depth resonates with the champagne's maturity.

Main course

Main course

The structured power and length of this Clos reach their fullest expression alongside sweetbreads: their pearlescent texture and buttery pan sauce engage in a seamless dialogue with the richness and depth of aged Pinot Noir.
