After training at Maison H. Blin – a small co-operative of 30 growers founded by his grandfather Henri – Jérôme branched out from the family estate to focus on his own chemical-free project in 2010. By 2018 he made the decision to operate his entire domain following the principals of biodynamics. Alongside small quantities of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, he farms 6ha of old vine Pinot Meunier on limestone, clay, and silt soils around Vincelles. These are champagnes that compete with the region’s elite growers. Old vines, oak aging, spontaneous ferments vinifications, and low sulphite, low dosage, unfined, unfiltered bottlings are his métier. Breathtakingly pure, site-expressive and luxurious wines are the result. Jérôme Blin is following in the footsteps of Egly-Ouriet and Jérôme Prévost with his impressive Pinot Meunier Champagnes made in the Vallée de la Marne. In Jérôme’s skilful hands the variety combines fruit-forward generosity with a supple texture and savoury edge. Jérôme only keeps a small proportion of his harvest to make his wine and produces just 500 cases each year. Despite this, he is becoming a much talked-about vigneron, capturing the attention of sommeliers and champagne lovers alike.
