Champagne De Telmont - Tasting of OR 1735 2000 & Consecration 2000

Dear Friends,

Early this February, I was in Champagne region. Bertrand, the owner of champagne house, prepared two surprises for me.
First surprise was at the end of the morning, we've tasted a vintage 1998 Brut. It was amazing and fantastic with a lot of freshness and a long finish. That was the first vintage that Bertrand made and we can in a way said a new style of J. De Telmont started.


In the afternoon that was the second, we did a comparison tasting between the two top cuvée prestige of J. De Telmont:

a) O.R. 1735 Brut 2000
Nose: toasted, woody, brioche flavor.
Mouth: complexity, round, long finish.
It tastes like a wine if you decanted it will be even better.
My advice: 15 minutes in a ice bucket just before pouring and it will go very well on seafood.













b) Consecration Brut 2000
Nose: light and discrete.
Mouth: fresh, elegant with a great finesse.
My advice:  it will be a great combination with white meat.

Santé!
