Have you tasted Champagne Telmont?
We had the opportunity to taste their Brut and Rosé Brut recently, at a fabulous dinner hosted at Black+Blue steak house in Toronto!
And before you ask, yes, Rosé Champagne is the perfect accompaniment to steak. The acidity, structure from aging five years sur lie and the red fruit profile of the Telmont Réserve Rosé Brut worked perfectly with the rich, fatty and oh so succulent cut of Wagyu we enjoyed. Of course, the rich and autolytic Telmont Brut met its ultimate destiny as the perfect pairing to oysters, fresh brioche and caviar canapés. We do say Champagne is the sommelier’s secret weapon for a reason!
Since 1912, four generations of winegrowers and winemakers at Champagne Telmont have passed down a vision, passion, and savoir-faire based in a commitment to terroir and mastery of the art of wine making. Their Champagnes express a balance of richness, fruitiness and freshness which is what we love! But what about the vessel these wines travel the globe in?
With its “In The Name of Mother Nature” project, Champagne Telmont aims to become the first Climate Positive Champagne House by 2030 and Net Positive by 2050. How so? After eliminating gift boxes, heavy bespoke bottles and transparent glass, and initiating an unprecedented transition to the lightest bottle in Champagne, Telmont is taking a new step forward with “193,000 shades of green.” This specific number reflects the amount of eco-friendly bottles to be released each year by the Maison, in varying hues that would have otherwise been discarded during the bottle creation process for not meeting specific colour standards and ending up in landfill. That’s one small step towards a greener future!
And to that we say… santé! Check out a re-cap of our epic dinner below:
