Founded in 1912, the Telmont Champagne House is located in Damery, near Epernay, France. Created
in the wake of champagne riots by Henri Lhôpital, a brave local winegrower, the House remains familial
and visionary: Bertrand Lhôpital, Cellar Master and Head of Viticulture of the Telmont House, today
represents the fourth generation. The House claims a line of conduct: the wine will be good if the Earth
is beautiful. Thus, after earning its first AB (organic agriculture) certification in 2017 for part of its parcels
and following the acquisition of a majority stake by the Rémy Cointreau group, Telmont launched a
program in 2021: "In the name of Mother Nature". The aim is to produce a very high-quality champagne
while reducing as much as possible its environmental footprint. The actions undertaken concern the
conversion under progress to organic viticulture of 100% of its estate and the parcels of its winegrower
partners, the preservation of biodiversity and the drastic reduction of its carbon footprint. Initiatives
have already been taken and will be expanded: elimination of gift boxes and other unnecessary
packaging, reduction of the bottle weight, abandonment of transparent bottles containing non-recycled
glass and bottles in special formats, complete stop of air freight for the transport of bottles and use of
renewable energy. The company aims to be Climate Positive by 2030 and Net Positive by 2050. The
House's wines are defined by an airy, structured style, between tension and freshness, and by subtle,
balanced acidity, which ensures impressive length on the palate. A Telmont champagne is neither too
opulent nor too vinous, but structured, accessible and refined. It has a unique presence characterized
by its paradox: a structured body and remarkable lightness.
