A Rare Sip of Time: Cuvée J2 Hôtel Osaka Hosts Exclusive Telmont Winemaker's Dinner
For one night only, Cuvée J2 Hôtel Osaka by Onkochishin is set to host an extraordinary winemaker's dinner featuring Telmont, the esteemed Champagne house from France. This exclusive event, held today, May 22, 2025, offers a rare opportunity to experience a comparative tasting of Telmont's exceptional aged cuvées, a spectacle seldom witnessed even on a global scale.
The centerpiece of this lavish evening is the Blanc de Blancs Vinothèque, a prestige cuvée crafted entirely from Chardonnay grapes and aged for over 15 years in Telmont's cellars. Guests will be treated to the truly unique experience of tasting two distinct vintages – 2006 and 2013 – side-by-side. This parallel tasting of different aging periods promises to unlock a deeper understanding of Telmont's mastery of maturation, a rare chance to discern the subtle nuances that only time can impart to such exquisite champagne. Such an opportunity, to compare these particular vintages concurrently, is almost unheard of in Japan, making this an especially significant event for champagne connoisseurs.
Beyond the sensory delight, the evening will also delve into Telmont's profound commitment to sustainability. The brand's philosophy, deeply rooted in environmental responsibility, will be a guiding theme throughout the dinner, inviting guests to savor not just the taste but also the conscious craftsmanship behind each bottle.
Adding to the evening's depth, Yumi Sasaki, Telmont's Brand Ambassador, will be in attendance. She will share the Maison's compelling story, guiding guests through the intricate world of Champagne and offering insights into the heritage and innovation that define Telmont.
The curated selection of Telmont champagnes for the evening extends beyond the Blanc de Blancs Vinothèque, offering a comprehensive exploration of the Maison's distinctive style:
Telmont Réserve de la Terre: This emblematic cuvée embodies Telmont's sustainable spirit, crafted exclusively from grapes sourced from plots transitioning to organic farming. It reflects a harmony with nature, yielding a champagne that is both serene and powerful.
Telmont Réserve Rosé: Presented in a magnum format, this rosé promises a depth of aging and a vibrant elegance. Its supple fruitiness and mineral character are designed to elevate any refined occasion.
