ONE HOUSE, ONE VINEYARD

A CENTURY-OLD FAMILY HOUSE

Founded in 1912, the Telmont Champagne House is located in Damery, near Épernay. Created after the Champagne Riots by Henri Lhôpital, a courageous Champagne winegrower, the House has remained a family‑owned and visionary venture: Bertrand Lhôpital, Head of Viticulture and Cellar Master, represents the fourth generation. He and his team let the terroir shine through in the House’s champagnes, bringing all his skill and expertise to bear to reveal its unique personality.

THE ESTATE AND ITS PARTNERS

The Telmont Estate vineyard extends over more than 20 hectares. It includes eight crus planted with the three principal grape varieties of champagne: pinot noir, meunier and chardonnay. As well as its own ancestral vines, the House works with partner winegrowers in the main Champagne regions: the Montagne de Reims, the Grande Vallée and Petite Vallée de la Marne, the Côte des Blancs, the Sézannais, the Vitryat, the Côtes des Bars and the Aisne. The House’s winegrower partnerships are built on long-standing relationships of trust and a shared belief in Telmont’s values.

TELMONT VALUES

Loyalty to winemaking know‑how, devotion to safeguarding the art of champagne.

Humility towards nature, by respecting the terroir, the seasons and the life cycle of the vine.

Courage to meet the challenges inherent in our craft, in conviction lies strength, the strength to act, innovate and take up the challenges of organic agriculture.
