The House of Telmont was founded in 1912 byHenri Lhôpital, courageous wine grower, following the Champagne riots of 1911,in the village of Damery, near Epernay. The House is rich in ancestralknow-how: four generations of winegrowers bequeathed their strong commitment totheir terroir and their grapes to their successors, as well as the art ofmastering each stage of wine making. Within their vineyards, importants stepshad been taken to transition towards organic agriculture. The wines have aunique personality, presence, complexity and maturity, all the while preservinga remarkable ethereality. Telmont’s style is defined by its tension and itsfreshness. The house enables the terroir to express itself through itschampagne, employing its know-how to help reveal the various facets of nature.
The encounter with Bertrand Lhôpital,fourth generation of the founding family, confirmed that the Rémy CointreauGroup and Telmont would form a unique partnership. The Group identified withthe values of the House and proceeded to purchase a majority share in October2020. Agricultural engineer, currently Head of Viticulture and Cellar Master ofTelmont, Bertrand had already started transitioning several hectares of vinesto organic agriculture.
In Nomine Terrae
In the coming months and years, the Telmontteam will continue the ambitious certification process of the Telmont estateand will work towards a common goal with all partner winegrowers : to convertTelmont into a 100% organic champagne House over the next ten years. The Househas adopted a new approach: no more transparent bottles, no more packaging orgift boxes. The objective is to reduce the House’s environmental footprint atevery stage, from the production to the distribution. All this with full transparency.
Each bottle is individually numbered andthe new labels show everything, clearly and simply, listing all the componentsand methods used to produce Telmont champagnes. The journey will be long andchallenging, but the team will go down this road not only with passion andhumility but also with great determination and sincerity. The House vows toalways openly share its progress, not to be pinned as an example but toencourage everyone to respect mother nature, to whom we owe so much. In NomineTerrae.
Ludovic du Plessis
President of the House of Telmont
For nearly twenty years, Ludovic du Plessishas dedicated his career to the world of luxury wines and spirits. Humanencounters are at the heart of his professional arena. Ludovic discovered hispassion for wine and gastronomy alongside his hedonist grandfather.
After 10 years spent at Dom Pérignon and Moët & Chandon, Ludovic joinedLOUIS XIII Cognac as Global Executive Director in 2014. Time is LOUIS XIII’sraw material and with this spirit in mind, Ludovic imagined creativeinitiatives which received awards celebrating their innovative vision, inparticular, 100 years campaigns featuring John Malkovich and Pharrell Williams.Ludovic, his career deeply rooted in French soil, was ready for a newentrepreneurial adventure.
He identified the House of Telmont in 2019. Ludovic made the introduction tothe Remy Cointreau group which share the same values as Telmont: Time, Terroir,People. Remy Cointreau, welcoming the initiative, purchased a majority share inTelmont champagne in October 2020. The ambition is to develop the Telmontbrand, particularly outside of France, while protecting its mastercraftsmanship and focusing on organic agriculture at a time when only 3% ofchampagne vineyards are certified for organic production. The house will thusremain true to its motto, ‘Nec Pluribus Impar’ – ‘Unlike any other’.
Bertrand Lhôpital
Head of Viticulture and Cellar Master
Over twenty years ago, in 1999, BertrandLhôpital was given the keys to the century-old family house by his fatherSerge. He has since devoted his life to his legacy with a strong conviction:his viticulture will be green and virtuous, respectful of the environment andits winegrowers.
Bertrand Lhôpital is determined to preserve the quality of his champagne ratherthan focus on the quantity of his production. His attention remains on thevines of the Telmont estate, protecting its soil and respecting the terroir.His research is directed by his ecological and environmental awareness, whichis premature in the champagne world : Bertrand stops the use of herbicideswithin the estate and, in 2014, starts the organic conversion of some the it’splots.
Bertrand inherited his family’s passion, know-how and visionary ambition. TheLhôpital family values are what captured the attention of the Rémy Cointreaugroup, which recently acquired a majority share of the house of Telmont andwill be accompanied by Bertrand, who remains Head of Viticulture and CellarMaster in order to lead together this virtuous mission.
