Telmont Sans Soufre Sustainably Sourced 2013

Sans Soufre Sustainably Sourced 2013 is a clearly defined vintage release from Telmont, built from 58% Chardonnay and 42% Meunier. Those proportions give the bottle a complete two-grape identity and make the 2013 harvest central to how the wine should be understood. The blend is notable for the close relationship between Chardonnay and Meunier. Chardonnay holds the majority at 58%, while Meunier accounts for the remaining 42%, creating a composition that differs from both a pure Blanc de Blancs and a more conventional three-grape house blend. Telmont is a Damery Champagne house founded in 1912. Its modern identity combines a 25-hectare estate vineyard with long-term grower partnerships across a wider sourcing network. In recent years the house has also placed an unusually visible emphasis on environmental farming programmes across both its own land and partner vineyards. For this bottle, however, the exact release remains the important point. The 2013 vintage and 58/42 Chardonnay-Meunier composition are firmly attached to this wine and should not be treated as a permanent recipe for another Telmont cuvée or a later edition. Within the broader house range, Réserve Brut provides the more conventional introduction to Telmont, while the current Réserve de la Terre wines represent the clearest expression of the maison’s contemporary organic direction. Sans Soufre Sustainably Sourced 2013 sits apart as an older, specifically dated release with its own blend. For a buyer, that makes the proposition concise and useful: Telmont, vintage 2013, 58% Chardonnay and 42% Meunier. The exact year and complete blend distinguish the bottle far more clearly than generic house-style language could.
