Grape

40 % Chardonnay, 30 % Pinot Meunier and 30 % Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

The seductive colour of this rosé reminds of peach skin and rose petal, while the cheerful effervescence is enlivened by small and swift bubbles, creating an overall impression of youth and vibrancy.

The first nose opens on very delicate fruity and milky notes. After a few seconds, the cuvée reveals strawberry, cream and a powerful minty freshness, which eventually give way to blackcurrant and blueberry. The nose is fruity and spring-like.

Starting with a supple attack, the wine then leaves an impression of silkiness, freshness and delicacy on the palate. The effervescence is creamy, with a perfectly blended dosage. The beautifully airy texture of this seamless wine is akin to tulle and lacework. It is almost like the champagne is enclosed in a bubble. Retro-olfaction highlights small tangy red fruits, with a hint of lychee, maybe.

The finish is quite long, round and fruity, and lasts for around 6 to 7 seconds. Strawberry and exotic fruit notes create a sweet invitation to indulge in another sip of this champagne.

Serve in a tall flute which will enhance the delicacy and the ethereal character of this cuvée. Perfect as an aperitif or served along with carrot soup with orange, fine cooked ham, roasted scallops, scampi, beef or fish carpaccio, fresh goat cheese or strawberries with rose jelly.

More About The Winery 

Located in Moussy near Épernay, between the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs, Champagne Tellier is a rising grower estate at the heart of the region. With 7 hectares in Moussy and Pierry (the historic Domaine des Conardins) and another 2 hectares across Chavot, Fontaine/Aÿ, and Cramant, the domaine farms 13 plots, each vinified separately to showcase its unique terroir.

The vineyards are planted primarily to Pinot Meunier (59%), balanced with Chardonnay (35%) and a touch of Pinot Noir (6%). Deeper soils over chalk in Moussy and Pierry give wines structure and length, while the chalky terroirs of Chavot, Aÿ, and Cramant bring elegance, minerality, and finesse.

A new chapter began in 2014, when the estate was acquired by the Moulin and Cathiard families, bringing fresh vision and energy. Today, Champagne Tellier is celebrated for Champagnes that combine power, elegance, and precise terroir expression, crafted with respect for nature and tradition.
