Producer
Quentin and Alexandre Tellier farm their family's vineyards in the Épernay region with remarkable precision and ambition. Their approach is resolutely artisanal — minimal sulphur, no fining or filtration, lees aging under cork.
🌅 Dawn· 🌬️ Breeze
Dawn primary — the balance of Chardonnay and Meunier here, handled with Tellier's artisanal precision, delivers a wine of genuine refinement. Breeze secondary — the Meunier component adds a lifted, aromatic freshness that keeps the wine from feeling heavy despite its Premier Cru weight.
Tasting note
From Les Rocherets and Corrigot vineyards in Pierry — medium deep clay over a bedrock split evenly between chalky limestone and flint. Biscuit and honey on the nose, followed by linden and a gentle spice that builds through the palate. Four grams per litre dosage, disgorged May 2022.

    70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Meunier
    Dosage: 4g/L
    Disgorged May 2022.
    Produced from vineyards in the village of Pierry (Les Rocherets & Corrigot).
    Terroir consists of medium deep clay covering bedrock of 50% chalky limestone & 50% flint (silex).
    With a golden hue, this wine displays a very fine persistent bead. Biscuit and honey appear on the first nose, followed by aromas of linden and oriental spices, while the fruitiness remains very subtle. Then, the nose expresses an enticing palette of undergrowth, pear, licorice and seaweed.
    The attack on the palate is highly balanced, nicely blending smoothness and liveliness. Then, the wine seems to unfold: mouth-watering acidity and creamy effervescence harmoniously give birth to a silky texture. This full-bodied wine displays enough character to enhance the perfect balance of this opulent material, lingering on biscuit & sweet wood notes.
