Maison Telmont Champagne

Champagne for me is a bone of contention. I love it, but I am sometimes disappointed by what I get in the glass from some of the large Grande Marque Houses. So when I came across Maison Telmont and realised the quality of the wines, I was blown away. These are simply stunning, ethical, sustainable wines that are a joy to drink.

Maison Telmont was founded in 1912 by Henri Lhôpital, who was inspired by the Champagne riots of 1910 to establish a Champagne house that would espouse the values of quality that he believed were under threat. Since then, the Champagne house has been handed down through four generations of the family, always staying true to crafting wines “in the name of Mother Nature”.

Living by three core values: humility, courage, and loyalty they are a driving force in the
region for respecting biodiversity, adopting renewable energy sources, and ecological design. They are questioning all touchpoints between their wines and the environment by abolishing superfluous packaging, and using only 100% recyclable green glass. In 2017, some of Telmont’s plots received organic certification, and has committed to certifying all estate vines by 2031.
