Tasting Notes
The 2018 Champagne Tellier “La Goutte d’Or” Extra Brut is a single-vineyard Blanc de Noirs crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grown in Fontaine-sur-Aÿ, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims. Produced with a very low dosage of 2 g/L, it reveals a pure and precise expression of the terroir.
In the glass, it shows a deep golden hue with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is rich yet refined, opening with aromas of kirsch, citrus peel, and white flowers, layered with subtle hints of brioche and chalky minerality. The palate is vibrant, tense, and structured, combining the generosity of the 2018 vintage with a striking mineral backbone. Notes of ripe orchard fruits, red berries, and saline undertones lead to a long, precise, and deeply layered finish.
More About The Winery
Located in Moussy near Épernay, between the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs, Champagne Tellier is a rising grower estate at the heart of the region. With 7 hectares in Moussy and Pierry (the historic Domaine des Conardins) and another 2 hectares across Chavot, Fontaine/Aÿ, and Cramant, the domaine farms 13 plots, each vinified separately to showcase its unique terroir.
The vineyards are planted primarily to Pinot Meunier (59%), balanced with Chardonnay (35%) and a touch of Pinot Noir (6%). Deeper soils over chalk in Moussy and Pierry give wines structure and length, while the chalky terroirs of Chavot, Aÿ, and Cramant bring elegance, minerality, and finesse.
A new chapter began in 2014, when the estate was acquired by the Moulin and Cathiard families, bringing fresh vision and energy. Today, Champagne Tellier is celebrated for Champagnes that combine power, elegance, and precise terroir expression, crafted with respect for nature and tradition.
