Telmont Reserve Brut
Telmont Réserve Brut Champagne is a beautifully balanced expression of the Champagne region, crafted with a dedication to quality and sustainable winemaking. Blending Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier, this elegant cuvée delivers remarkable freshness, complexity and finesse.
The nose reveals inviting aromas of white flowers, citrus, green apple and pear, layered with subtle hints of brioche and toasted almonds. On the palate, lively acidity and fine, persistent bubbles enhance flavours of crisp orchard fruits, lemon zest and delicate pastry notes, culminating in a long, mineral-driven finish.

The estate
Founded in 1912 by the Lhôpital family, the Telmont Champagne House benefited from a succession of visionary generations who all shared a passion for the terroirs of Champagne. In 2020, the French group, Rémy Cointreau, joined the Telmont adventure and the partners share a common ambition that is to preserve the terroirs by practicing organic methods and consolidating a large-scale sustainable project. It is indeed the house’s innovative approach that led Leonardo DiCaprio to join Telmont as a shareholder. Bertrand Lhôpital remains both the Cellar Master and vineyard manager and thus guarantees the quality of centuries’ worth of family know-how.
The vineyard
Maison Telmont spreads across 24.5 hectares in Damery, near Épernay in the Champagne region. Since 2017, some of the Maison Telmont parcels are certified in organic farming. In 2022, the Telmont Champagne House will practice organic farming methods on half of its land.
Réserve Brut stems from the following parcels: Damery (44%), Fontette (8.5%), Songy (6.8%), Avize (6.7%), Saudoy (5.8%), Cumières (4.3%), Nogent l'Abesse (4%), Vertus (3.6%), Vinay (2.3%), Chaumuzy (2%), Boursault (2%), Epernay (1.9%).
The wine
Réserve Brut showcases a subtle marriage between three of the Champagne region’s iconic grape varieties and seven different years. The ensemble offers an array of expressions that perfectly reveal a harmonious blend between richness, fruit and freshness. The purest expression of the terroir, Réserve Brut pays tribute to the uniqueness of each year.
Vinification and ageing

The dosage of this champagne is 6.7 grams/litre.
