Insolite Estate: J. de Telmont Country: France Appellation: Coteaux Champenois-AOC Variety: Chardonnay Description: Champagne’s illustrious reputation dates back to the reign of Louis XV, when sparkling white champagne became fashionable at court.

But their future was to be far less glittering than that of their sparkling sibling, now famous all over the world. With this unusual cuvee, the Maison J. de Telmont revives the era when the king of wines and the wine of kings was famous as a still wine. To enable you to rediscover this little known if not forgotten wine, the Maison J. De Telmont is offering you a chance to try out of the most unusual of its kind. One plot of land, one grape variety, a unique style and an unusual discovery: “Insolite”. This is the only still Chardonnay available from Champagne. |
