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

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