J. de Telmont Réserve Brut Champagne is a refined and elegant sparkling wine from one of the esteemed, family-owned Champagne houses in Damery, in the heart of the Champagne region of France. Established in 1912, J. de Telmont has built its reputation on a commitment to traditional winemaking methods, coupled with a deep respect for the land and a dedication to sustainability. This Réserve Brut is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, the classic Champagne grape varieties, sourced from the house's own vineyards and trusted growers in the region. The wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, as per the traditional méthode champenoise, which results in its fine, persistent bubbles and complex flavor profile. Extended aging in the cellars before disgorgement adds to the Champagne's depth and character.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
J.de Telmont Réserve Brut Champagne greets the senses with a luminous golden hue and a lively effervescence that sets the stage for its aromatic richness. The nose is a delightful blend of ripe pear, green apple, and citrus zest, complemented by nuances of toasted brioche and almond, reflecting its time spent on the lees. On the palate, this Champagne is both vibrant and full-bodied, with a harmonious balance between creamy texture and crisp acidity. Flavors of fresh fruits and subtle pastry notes lead to a complex and satisfying finish, marked by a hint of minerality.
