Champagne Telmont Brut Reserve NV sustainably sourced: Elegance Worth Celebrating
Champagne 12% ABV ABV TelmontNice but maybe not £47 nice
Had this at a friend's dinner party and thought it was good, not amazing. It's dry and lemony with a bready thing going on which I liked. But honestly for nearly fifty quid I'd probably just grab a decent Crémant most of the time.
Perfect for our anniversary dinner
We split this over a seafood starter and it was brilliant. Light and precise, not too boozy at 12%, and the finish just goes on and on. I liked that it's sustainably made too — Telmont seem to actually care about that stuff.
Solid champagne, would buy again
The wine shop guy recommended this as a step up from supermarket champagne and he wasn't wrong. Really crisp and dry with green apple and lemon flavours. The bubbles are super fine too, not that aggressive fizz you get with cheaper stuff.
Decent but I expected more
Saw this on a restaurant menu and ordered it by the glass. It's pleasant enough — dry, citrusy, fine bubbles. But for the price point I wanted to be wowed and it felt a bit restrained for my taste. I tend to prefer something with a bit more punch.
Great with takeaway sushi weirdly
Picked this up from Majestic on a whim and ended up drinking it with sushi on a Friday night. The crisp apple and lemon thing works so well with fish. Really dry finish too which I appreciate — hate it when champagne is secretly sweet.
Brought this to a party and got compliments
Grabbed this as a safe bet for a house party and multiple people asked me what it was. It's got this lovely peach and biscuit thing going on and the bubbles are really delicate. Not the cheapest bottle on the shelf but it makes you look like you know what you're doing.
This is what champagne should taste like
I've been getting more into wine lately and this was a real eye-opener. The lemon curd and fresh bread notes are so clear, and there's this chalky mineral quality that makes it feel really elegant. Three different grapes in the blend and you can tell there's complexity there. Genuinely one of the best champagnes I've tried under £50.
Birthday treat that delivered
Bought this for my wife's 40th and we were both really impressed. Lovely fine bubbles, and you get this gorgeous peachy thing going on with sort of biscuity undertones. At £47.50 it's not cheap but for a special occasion it absolutely hit the mark.
