our story
Henri Lhôpital

André Lhôpital
André Lhôpital becomes Cellar Master following the death of his father.
Cuirassiers
André joins the second regiment of the ‘Cuirassiers’, the oldest surviving calvary regiment in the French army, dating back to the XVIIth century. Telmont’s logo and values honor the Cuirassiers’ insignia.
Champagne de Telmont
André returns to Champagne to develop his father’s legacy and baptizes the brand: Champagne de Telmont, after the name of one of his best plots.
Damery
Champagne de Telmont relocates to 1 Avenue de Champagne, Damery, at the base of the vineyard. It remains Telmont’s address to this day.
Serge Lhôpital
André’s son, Serge, takes over Champagne de Telmont, where he continues his father’s legacy and serves as Deputy Mayor and Mayor of Damery for 18 years.
Bertrand and Pascale Lhôpital
Serge hands over the house to his children, Bertrand and Pascale, who carry on their family’s values, with an even deeper care for their land.
Experiences
Telmont creates a unique tourism experience : “24 hours in the vineyard” to expand the experiential offer available in the Champagne region.
Organic Certification
Telmont receives its first organic certification for certain sections of the house’s vineyard, rewarding a decade of hard work and dedication.
Rémy Cointreau
French family-owned spirits group, Rémy Cointreau, becomes majority shareholder of Telmont. This purchase was driven by shared values and a common vision. The future of the House will be built alongside Bertrand Lhôpital who remains Cellar Master and Head of Viticulture at Telmont.
Réserve de la Terre
Telmont launches its first certified organic wine: Réserve de la Terre, the result of a ten-year commitment. Telmont is introducing a new approach: no more transparent bottles, no more packaging, and innovative labels. The brand is expanding in the United States and Japan.
Telmont adds new investor

EXTENSION OF OUR 100% ORGANIC RANGE
Telmont expands its range of organic wines with the "Réserve de la Terre – Rosé" cuvée, made exclusively from organically grown grapes cultivated without herbicides, synthetic pesticides, synthetic fungicides, or synthetic fertilizers.
"Réserve de la Terre – Rosé" represents a further step towards the winery's complete conversion to organic and regenerative viticulture.
New Cellar Master
Brice Bezin is appointed Cellar Master and Head of Procurement. He succeeds Bertrand Lhôpital, whose deputy he was until now. This appointment reflects a commitment to continuity and the transmission of demanding expertise, fidelity to a unique winemaking style, and a lasting commitment to environmental responsibility.
Our future ambition
100% of our winegrower partners will be certified in organic agriculture by 2031. Telmont will confirm its leadership in organic agriculture.
We respect terroir unconditionally. A great wine must be a gift from nature, intimately cherished and protected.
