Tasting notes
Pale rose-gold in colour with a very fine, persistent bead. The first nose is open and fruity, with strawberry, grenadine and white flowers, developing more exotic notes of passion fruit with air while staying elegant, with hints of rose, lily of the valley and a gentle creamy touch. The palate is silky and refined, with a delicate creaminess balanced by lively, mouth-watering acidity and a pure, precise finish thanks to its very low dosage. Lovely with shellfish, salmon, pork or soft cheeses.
About the Winery
Champagne Tellier is a family estate based in Moussy, just south of Épernay, between the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs. The family has owned vines here since 1938, and in 2016 brothers Quentin and Alexandre Tellier began vinifying their own grower Champagnes, vinifying each plot separately to capture its micro-terroir.
Les Conardins is a single vineyard in Moussy planted in 1965 with a massal selection of Meunier, on 60 to 80 cm of clay over a bedrock of chalk and flint. The wine is fermented and aged in barrel, then aged on its lees under cork before disgorgement with a very low dosage of around 2 g/L.
