Champagne J. De Telmont – O.R. 1735 - 2002

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2015

(approximately 62 euros a bottle)

 

Established in 1912, the Champagne J. De Telmont, family house settled in Damery, benefits from a 146-hectare supply among which 36 self owned, to craft and market 1 million bottles of great Champagnes every year.

 

Original and luxurious bottle. Wire-cap made of hemp maintained by a red wax seal. Tribute to the history of the Champagne and its elaboration, the vintage O.R. 1735, created in 1993, is a reference to the royal decree of 1735 authorizing the transport of wines of Champagne in bottles for export.

 

Visual Aspect: 

 

·        Golden, bright.

·        Very fine bubbles, evolving in a delicate bead.

 

Nose:

 

·        Heady sensuality.

·        Aromas of apple and pear compote, citrus, apricot and raisins, exotic fruits, white flowers and mint, signatures of the Chardonnay, the exclusive grape variety of the cuvée.

·        Beautiful maturity, with generous nuances of honey and beeswax, evolving towards chocolate, the result of 10 years of ageing on laths of the bottles.

·        Discreet woodiness, slightly vanilla-scented, perfectly integrated, obtained by the vinification and élevage (9 months) of 20% of the base wines in oak barrels from 4 to 10 years old.

 

Palate:

 

·        Classy first taste, enabled by the sensible blocking of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines and the light dosage with only 4 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement, sublimated by pure minerality, inimitable marked of the Grand Crus of Avize and Chouilly, in the Côte des Blancs.

·        The palate then becomes smooth, fleshy, thanks to the weekly stirring of the base wines in barrels.

·        Impressive length.

 

With this vintage O.R. Confidential 1735 - 2002 (5,000 bottles), sixth of the name, Bertrand Lhopital, managing director and cellar master of J. Of Telmont, offers us an unforgettable interpretation of the great year 2002.

 

To enjoy for your festive meals, with oysters gratin with Champagne, for example.
