Wine Making
The Reserve Rosé is crafted using a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier grapes, carefully selected from premium vineyards across Champagne. The wine undergoes traditional méthode champenoise, with the second fermentation taking place in the bottle. The dosage is kept minimal to preserve the wine's natural characteristics and ensure a perfect balance between freshness and complexity.

The palate reveals a harmonious blend of crisp green apple notes, subtle almond undertones, and a distinctive chalky minerality characteristic of the region. The wine's medium body and well-integrated 12% alcohol content contribute to its remarkable balance and refreshing finish.
Territory
The Champagne region, with its unique chalk-rich soils and cool climate, provides the perfect conditions for growing the grapes used in this Reserve Rosé. The terroir imparts the distinctive mineral qualities and fresh acidity that are hallmarks of fine Champagne. Telmont's vineyards benefit from the region's specific microclimate, which allows for optimal grape ripening while maintaining essential acidity.
