Tellier, Vignes de Pierry 1er Cru Extra Brut 2017

Description

About the Producer

The domaine’s history dates back to 1222. Pierre-Louis de Failly, Comte de Champagne and the domaine’s last lord, who died in 1792, was already making sparkling wines. After the French Revolution, the Château des Conardins was sold as a national asset and then burnt down. The Domaine had a succession of owners and went largely unnoticed for over a century. In 1936, Domaine des Conardins was acquired by Raymond Renaudin. He modernised the winemaking facilities and then enlarged the vineyards. In 1980, Christophe Tellier continued to work the estate, paving the way for the generation to come: Quentin Tellier joined the family business in 2016, followed by his younger brother Alexandre in 2020. In 2016, Quentin Tellier joined his father Christophe on the Domaine bringing with him a business plan to achieve their vision, a combination of ambition, modernity and authenticity. Produced in a modern winery, above the historical cellars, Quentin’s first harvest marked a new beginning: Champagne Tellier.
