The Expression of an Exceptional Vintage Champagne

The Estate

Founded in 1912 by the Lhôpital family, the Champagne Telmont House has seen generations of visionaries passionate about the Champagne terroirs follow one another. In 2020, the French group Rémy Cointreau joined the Telmont adventure, driven by a shared ambition for the preservation of terroirs through organic farming and the development of a large-scale eco-responsible project. This innovative approach also inspired Leonardo DiCaprio to become a shareholder of Maison Telmont. Meanwhile, Bertrand Lhôpital remains cellar master and vineyard manager, thus ensuring the quality of a family know-how spanning more than a century.
