Telmont Blanc De Blancs Vinotheque 2006 750 ml

Telmont Blanc de Blancs Vinothèque CO 2006 is an exceptional vintage Champagne crafted exclusively from 100% Chardonnay and matured for 14 years in Champagne Telmont's underground cellars. Elegant, fresh and remarkably complex, this limited Vinothèque release combines mature Chardonnay character with vibrant acidity and layers of peach, vanilla, exotic fruit and toasted toffee.

Created from Chardonnay sourced from Avize and Chouilly (73%) and Damery (27%), the wine reflects some of Champagne's celebrated Chardonnay terroirs. Telmont selected only the first pressing for the composition of this exceptional vintage.

The wine is entirely from the 2006 harvest and underwent classic vinification in stainless-steel vats without malolactic fermentation. By avoiding malolactic fermentation, Telmont preserved the wine's natural freshness and acidity, providing the structure required for extended cellar maturation.

Bottled in July 2007, the Champagne spent an extraordinary 14 years aging in deep underground cellars before being manually riddled and disgorged in 2021. Its dosage of 5.9 g/L places this expression within the Brut category while maintaining a precise and energetic profile.

In the glass, Telmont Blanc de Blancs Vinothèque CO 2006 displays a light yellow color with golden reflections. The bouquet opens with fleshy peach and a subtle touch of white tobacco, developing into vanilla and toasted toffee.

The palate is lively and expressive, revealing pineapple, mango and pear, supported by lifted acidity. A distinctive lychee note emerges toward the finish, giving the Champagne an exotic and elegant conclusion.

Telmont recommends serving this vintage at approximately 10°C (50°F) and specifically suggests Parmesan as a food pairing. Its mature Chardonnay character also makes it well suited to refined seafood, shellfish and other dishes where freshness and complexity are equally important.

For collectors and Champagne enthusiasts, Telmont Blanc de Blancs Vinothèque CO 2006 offers the opportunity to experience an extended-cellar-aged vintage directly from the producer's Vinothèque collection.
