First Impressions
Champagne Telmont Vinotheque 2013 sustainably sourced arrives at £134.00, and at this price point, expectations are rightly elevated. 75cl / 12% - The 2013-vintage Vinotheque Champagne from Telmont is made with a blend of 43% Pinot Meunier, 31% Pinot Noir and 26% Chardonnay grapes from the challenging, stormy.
France's winemaking heritage needs no introduction, but the best producers continue to find new ways to express their terroir while honouring centuries of tradition. Telmont is a name worth knowing in this context.
On the Nose and Palate
The nose offers delicate nose of white peach, fresh bread, and a hint of chalk and lemon curd. Moving to the palate, the wine is precise and focused, with lemon curd, green apple, and a chalky texture that drives the palate. The finish is lengthy and complex, showing pastry, stone fruit, and a refreshing chalky bite.
Food Pairing and Serving
Equally at home as an aperitif or alongside seafood, sushi, or delicate canapés. Serve at 8-10°C in proper flutes or, better yet, white wine glasses to appreciate the full bouquet.
The Verdict
Champagne Telmont Vinotheque 2013 sustainably sourced earns a well-deserved 8 out of 10. This is an outstanding champagne that delivers Pinot Noir with genuine conviction and craft. At £134.00, this sits in premium territory, and it delivers the quality to match. Whether you are building a cellar or simply looking for something excellent to drink tonight, this bottle earns its place.
