Champagne AOC Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Telmont

What type of wine is it

Telmont’s Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Champagne region. It displays a dry, taut, and precise style, with pronounced minerality and a fine texture. The wine is vinified in steel and partly in oak barrels, followed by a lengthy maturation on the lees, enriching the aromatic profile while retaining freshness. The Extra Brut dosage preserves its essential character and supports balanced aging in the bottle.

Where does it come from

This Champagne comes from Champagne in northeastern France, where Chardonnay benefits from a cool climate and significant temperature variations. The environment encourages the finesse and vibrancy typical of the finest Blanc de Blancs.

How is it made

The Chardonnay grapes are gently pressed in the cellar to obtain pure musts. Fermentation occurs in both steel and wood to combine aromatic clarity with palate volume. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle, according to traditional methods for this type, with an extended period on the lees to increase complexity. Disgorgement includes Extra Brut dosage, and maturation continues under cork, a choice that encourages natural, consistent aging.

Tasting notes

The colour is a brilliant straw yellow with greenish highlights and fine, persistent bubbles. The nose expresses white flowers and citrus, then creamy notes, peach and roasted pineapple, with delicate toasted nuances from the wood and prolonged lees aging. The palate is vertical, savoury and remarkably fresh, with citrus accents, a touch of ginger, and a long, harmonious finish marked by precision and minerality.

Pairings

This Champagne pairs naturally with seared scallops, shellfish, and delicately flavoured fish thanks to its dryness and citrus-driven freshness that cleanses the palate. Ideal with oysters, amberjack carpaccio or tuna tartare, and light dishes based on butter or citrus. In French cuisine, it is well suited to sole meunière, while its pronounced minerality also complements sushi and sashimi.

Serving suggestions

Serve this Champagne chilled, between 8 and 10 °C, to enhance aromatic finesse, savouriness, and smoothness. Excellent as an aperitif, it performs best at the table with seafood dishes, thanks to its dry, defined Extra Brut profile. Prolonged lees aging and maturation under cork indicate good aging potential; for optimal enjoyment, consume within a few years of purchase if well stored.
