Champagne Telmont Brut Reserve NV / Magnum

Daisy Miller — Lovely but the price stings a bit

8/10

Look, this is a really good champagne. Fresh, balanced, clean finish that makes you want another glass. But £125 is a lot of money and I'm not sure it's twice as good as a £60 bottle. Would happily drink it again if someone else is buying.

Kofi Asante — Solid NV champagne

8/10

Had this at a restaurant first and tracked down a bottle after. Nice precise finish and good acidity that keeps things interesting. I'd say it punches above most non-vintage champagnes I've tried. Only knocking a point off because I think at this price point you start competing with some entry-level vintage stuff.

Gianluca Ferro — Best champagne I've had in ages

10/10

The wine shop guy recommended Telmont and I'm so glad I listened. From the first pour it just smells incredible — really expressive and inviting. The bubbles are fine, the acidity keeps it crisp, and there's this lovely complexity that builds as you drink. Genuinely struggled not to finish the whole magnum in one sitting.
