The producer

Tristan Hyest probably fully represents the figure of the artisan vigneron, the small Champagne producer, strongly tied to his terroir and coming from a family tradition of winemakers: his father above all, to whom Tristan owes much and from whom he took over the Domaine in Trélou-sur-Marne, in the area of Vallée de la Marne about 18 years ago. Tristan, in fact, has always maintained the philosophy and values transmitted by the family: cultivating the land with respect and awareness, through a viticulture as natural as possible. The company is quite recent because his father settled in Trélou-sur-Marne as an oenologist in the early '80s, having previously worked for several producers and acquired essential skills for work in the land and the vineyard. 

The son, following in his father's footsteps, studied oenology and, in 1999, decided to join the family business, with the desire to enrich his father's experience one day by making wine from his own cuvées. In 2001, Tristan personally took control of the vineyards, and then in 2003, with a small estate of 2.5 hectares, Tristan decided to start creating its own cuvées. And it hasn't taken long to produce creative Champagnes that have a unique style and well-defined identity, the result of their terroir. To date, Tristan has increased its production by buying a few more acres and working all three varieties typical of Champagne (Chardonnay, Meunier, and Pinot Noir). Drinking Tristan Hyest Champagnes is sharing his passion for the vineyards and his wine, and fully perceiving the work of a small producer dedicated to quality.
