Tellier, Champagne Vignes de Pierry Extra Brut 1er Cru, 2021

From the Premier Cru vineyards of Pierry, Tellier crafted this Extra Brut from clay over chalk bedrock—soils that produce wines of power and complexity. The brothers Quentin and Alexandre began their micro-project in 2016 with inherited family vines, and the Vignes de Pierry shows maturity well beyond their years. Aged in oak, fermented without malolactic conversion, this is Champagne that speaks clearly: brioche, almond, white fruit, mineral purity.
