A magical vintage Champagne!
Témoignage is Velut's testimony and that is actually exactly what the name means.
In other words, if you put on your analysis hat, this is Velut's proof and account of the unique way the house has chosen to interpret the finest bubbles in the world.
Only in the best years and only from the best white grapes on the estate does the Velut family make vintage champagne. The latest in 2013 and with the time spent on the yeast residues in between, so that the wine's character of brioche, malt, anise, chanterelle and pickled pear emerges. Exceptionally beautiful wine!
Montgueux was once considered Champagne's answer to Montrachet in Burgundy - the absolute top and in a rich, opulent style. Today, the center of Champagne has moved north, but in southern Montgueux, a few farmers still make excellent champagne on the limed terroir. Denis Velut is one of them and his champagnes belong to the small group of must-drinks, if you want to understand what champagne can also be besides mainstream sparkling water. Velut makes real artisanal wines, which has recently made Parker's man in Champagne ring the bell. We bought a small amount - you can't get more out of Denis, who never produces more than 30,000 bottles a year. That's about one per thousand of what Moët & Chandon produces from just one wine!
