Wine Spectator

Alison Napjus

Well-spiced and fragrant, offering flavors of ripe raspberry and cherry fruit, ginger biscuit, chalk and blanched almond accented by a rich hint of Grand Marnier liqueur. Bright and focused, with a satinlike mousse. Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Disgorged 2022. Drink now. 20,273 cases made, 6,000 cases imported.

Decanter

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.

Vinous

Antonio Galloni

The NV Brut Réserve is a blend of 53% Pinot Meunier, 31% Chardonnay and 16% Pinot Noir; 65% of the base wines are from 2018, 12% from 2017 and 2016 each, while 11% are from older vintages. This is Telmont's only Champagne that undergoes malolactic conversion. The nose is creamy, with hints of melted butter, Mirabelle and apricot-glazed viennoiserie. The creamy palate shows very fine mousse, and is fresh and bright. Slender, elegant, lovely. Dosage is 5 g/L. Disgorged: Q2 of 2022. - Anne Krebiehl MW

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 grams per liter of dosage.

Description

The aromatic complexity and minerality of a champagne crafted by Telmont

The estate

Founded in 1912 by the Lhôpital family, the Telmont Champagne House has seen successive generations of visionaries passionate about the Champagne terroirs. In 2020, the French group Rémy Cointreau joined the Telmont adventure, driven by a shared ambition to preserve the terroirs through organic farming and to build a large-scale eco-responsible project. This innovative approach also inspired Leonardo DiCaprio to become a shareholder in Maison Telmont. Meanwhile, Bertrand Lhôpital remains cellar master and vineyard manager, ensuring the quality of a family know-how spanning over a century.

The vineyard

Maison Telmont covers 24.5 hectares in Damery, near Épernay in Champagne. Since 2017, Maison Telmont has been certified Organic Agriculture for part of its plots. In 2022, half of Maison Telmont’s land was under organic farming.

The wine

Réserve Brut embodies the subtle union of the Champagne region’s three iconic grape varieties and seven different vintages. Together, this symphony of expressions reveals a perfect harmony that is rich, fruity, and marked by freshness. As the purest expression of the terroir, Réserve Brut pays tribute to the uniqueness of each year.

Réserve Brut comes from the following plots: Damery (44%), Fontette (8.5%), Songy (6.8%), Avize (6.7%), Saudoy (5.8%), Cumières (4.3%), Nogent l'Abesse (4%), Vertus (3.6%), Vinay (2.3%), Chaumuzy (2%), Boursault (2%), Epernay (1.9%), Fontaine Denis (1.6%), and Meurville (1.4%).

Winemaking and aging

Réserve Brut follows the traditional Champagne winemaking process. The 2017 vintage was blended with reserve wines from 2014 and 2015. Bottling took place in 2018 and the champagne aged for 3 years. Malolactic fermentation was carried out.

This champagne has a dosage of 6.7 grams/liter.

Blend

Chardonnay (43%), pinot meunier (43%), and pinot noir (20%).
