Looking for reviews of Champagne de Telmont

stevenson says that it used to be very good and very reliable; but not so now - iffy at best but seems to think the grande reserve is the best of a poor lot. juhlin likes the house better it seems; giving them 3 stars; but rates the grande reserve only 68.

Randy, I checked in with a couple of UK sites!! Chris Kissick, in `01, tasted a n/v and thought it green overall with not a lot going fot it!! Nothing from Jamie. Will check the forum over there asap.

Randy, I'm probably too late but look at the Google book search. I see two or three references at http://books.google.com/books?q=telmont ... e&as_brr=0

There's a short Hatchette review.

Great, Randy. I'm just starting to look at Google Books first for new research. Bob

stevenson and juhlin are the two big writers in english on champagne - stevensn's book is The World Encyclopedia of Champagne and Sparkling Wine and Juhlin's is 4000 Champagnes. never run across de telmont; but since i collect placques de muselet i hope i at least see on of those somewhere. maybe you could mail me one if you drink it.

enough to send me the muselet?

the label is in the stevenson book - quite attractive.

Randy,

It just occurred to me that there is another great source. If you have a membership in Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/, you can search on Telmont in the book section and you will get to the actual text of the Stevenson book, and 11 others.

This is a great way to get quotes that you might need -- you have to copy them out -- you can't highlight and dup.

Regards, Bob

Is this for a website?

Or something you were drinking?

If the latter, do tell, how was it?
