About Maison Telmont
Telmont is a century-old start-up: born in 1912 and still daring to challenge the status quo, in the Name of Mother Nature!
Since 2021, through its environmental program In the Name of Mother Nature*, Telmont has pursued a single ambition: to produce exceptional Champagne without any compromise on sustainability. Guided by the belief that “the wine is good if the Earth is beautiful”, the House aims to convert 100% of the estate’s and partner winegrowers’ vineyards to organic and regenerative agriculture by 2031 (with 70% already farmed organically today). In 2025, Telmont became the first Champagne House to earn the Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC™) certification, on its organic certified vineyards. The House also aims at drastically reducing carbon emissions with the goal of achieving Net Zero by 2050. This commitment is reflected in concrete actions*, including the elimination of gift boxes, the co development of the world’s lightest standard Champagne bottle (800g), the halt of air freight, and the use of renewable energy.
Under the expertise of Cellar Master Brice Bezin, the House crafts champagnes with an airy yet structured style, balancing tension, freshness and remarkable length. In 2024, Telmont unveiled its manifesto cuvée, “Réserve de la Terre”, crafted from 100% organic grapes: radiant, luminous, and full of life, this cuvée represents the future of Maison Telmont.
Telmont is supported by like-minded investors, including Rémy Cointreau, majority shareholder of Telmont, and Leonardo DiCaprio, investor and committed environmentalist.
