Blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier
Tasting notes
The aroma reveals fresh red fruits like strawberry and raspberry, with subtle hints of citrus and floral notes. As it opens up, notes of brioche and almond emerge, adding complexity. The taste is vibrant and well-balanced, showing a lively acidity with flavors of red berries, citrus, and a touch of minerality. The finish is long and refreshing, with a delicate hint of spice and a creamy texture from the extended lees aging.
Perfect as an aperitif or paired with dishes such as smoked salmon, duck breast, or soft cheeses.
More About The Winery
Domaine Tellier is situated in Moussy, near Epernay, which is located between the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs in the very heart of the Champagne region.
Most of the plots are found midway up the slopes and spread over 5 villages. Each plot reflects a micro-terroir created by its location, topography and soil structure. To make the most of this diversity, they decided to vinify all the plots separately.
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.
