Champagne Telmont was founded in 1912 in Damery, France, near Épernay, in the wake of the Champagne riots, by Henri Lhôpital. For over a century, the House has been a pioneer in the Champagne industry. Equally committed to innovation and the preservation of Champagne's traditions of excellence, Telmont is now at the forefront of a new revolution in our relationship with our planet. It implements a unique vision: to produce exceptional Champagne without any compromise on sustainability. Standing with Telmont are four investors who share the same environmental vision and convictions: Bertrand Lhôpital, grapefather and cellar master, great-grandson of founder Henri, who initiated the organic conversion as early as 1999, and today perpetuates his forefathers' legacy and traditions; Ludovic du Plessis, President of Maison Telmont; Rémy Cointreau, majority shareholder of Telmont, which fully endorses the House's commitment to sustainability and innovation; and Leonardo DiCaprio, investor and committed environmentalist.

Réserve Brut is the result of a subtle marriage of three grape varieties: 43% Chardonay, 37% Meunier and 20% Pinot Noir. It is a blend of seven distinct years, together beautifully balanced, a perfect harmony of richness, fruitiness and freshness. A genuine expression of terroir, a tribute to the excellence and singularity of each year's harvest.

This is a clean, savory Champagne that is easy to love. It's buoyed by honeysuckle and a touch of vanilla on the nose with an elegant foam. Plentiful in baked fruits: Mirabelle plum with a slight spice on the mid-palate that gives way to a long candied tropical-fruit and brisk mineral finish. And remember, both Mom and Mother Nature will win with this stunning Champagne!

DECANTER MAGAZINE 91 POINTS - "A savoury style that flies the flag for elegance. Layered with delicate peach, rosemary, mushroom and white truffle notes. Blend: 43% Chardonnay, 37% Pinot Meunier, 20% Pinot Noir."

Last year, A-List star and environmental activist, Leonardo Di Caprio made a substantial investment in Champagne Telmont, a boutique, fourth-generation, family run estate headed by Ludovic du Plessis. Di Capriao and du Plessis have known each other for fifteen years and have a shared commitment to protecting the environment. DiCaprio stated: "From protecting biodiversity on its land, to using 100% renewable electricity, Maison Telmont is determined to radically lower its environmental footprint, making me proud to join as an investor." Du Plessis posted: "Leonardo supports our vision and commitment to create the most sustainable, organic Champagne and heavily focus on preserving our land and our biodiversity." Telmont's goal is to market a 100% organic Champagne by 2025, with increasing emphasis on expanding eco-friendly processes through its growing and production sectors.
