J de Telmont Grande Reserve Brut NV

A surprise packet from a relatively unknown, but century-old Champagne house, this admirable wine combines orchard-fruit aromas with threads of wild honey, goodies from the bakery and a dab of nutty aldehyde. John Belsham described it perfectly as “seamless, fleshy and upfront”. It ticks all the boxes – good depth and body, a zesty backbone, a long yeasty finish and a friendly price tag.
