The flagship from the revitalised Telmont house has a silky floral cast to the bright nectarine and pear aromas. The texture is rich, with balanced acidity, a fine mousse and plenty of finesse on the lingering finish. With four years on the lees, there is a very pleasant toasty yeast quality without any heaviness. The grapes are mainly from the Marne Valley (nearly half from Damery), with grapes from well-known villages such as Avize and Vertus completing the blend. 2017 base wine.

Produced from 53% Meunier, 31% Chardonnay, and the rest Pinot Noir, the NV Champagne Reserve Brut is based on the 2018 vintage (63%) with 12% from 2017, 12% from 2016, 2% from 2015, and the rest from older vintages. Comprising 80% of the house’s production, it pours a youthful yellow and lifts with aromas of quince, almond, white flowers, and a flourish of smoky earth. Generous on the palate, it’s fruity and inviting, with ripe orchard fruit, a gently fluffy mousse, and a fresh, pithy finish. Its lovely custardy and floral finish is long-lasting and takes this up a notch. It’s perfect for drinking over the next several years. 5 gram per liter of dosage.
