Visit Champagne Telmont in Damery

Founded in 1912, the Telmont Champagne House is located in Damery, near Épernay. Created following the Champagne revolts by Henri LHôpital, a courageous winegrower, the House remains today family and visionary: Bertrand LHôpital, Cellar and viticulture manager, represents the fourth generation.
The House claims a line of conduct: the wine is good if the Earth is beautiful. Thus, after having obtained its first AB (organic farming) certification in 2017 on part of its plots, and following the acquisition of a majority stake by the Rémy Cointreau group, Telmont is launching, in 2021, an unprecedented project in Champagne : "In the Name of the Earth". The goal: to produce a very high quality champagne, with great respect for the environment. The actions carried out relate to the conversion to organic viticulture of 100% of its estate and the plots of its winegrowing partners, the preservation of biodiversity and the drastic reduction of its carbon footprint. Initiatives have already been taken, and will be amplified: elimination of gift boxes and other unnecessary packaging, reduction in the weight of bottles, abandonment of transparent bottles not containing non-recycled glass and bottles in special formats, abandonment of air freight for the transport of bottles or the use of renewable energies. The House aims to be Climate Positive by 2030 and Net Positive by 2050.
The wines of the House are defined by a unique style, airy and structured, between tension and freshness, and by a subtle and balanced acidity, which ensures an impressive length in the mouth. 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.
