Organic viticulture, essential for contributing to protecting soil vitality and biodiversity, is at the heart of the In the Name of Mother Nature project launched three years ago by Maison Telmont. This accelerated conversion stands out in the Champagne region, where to date, only 5 percent of the vineyards are certified organic. It involves the complete cessation of the use of herbicides, synthetic pesticides, synthetic fungicides, or chemical fertilizers in accordance with organic regulation.  

For Maison Telmont, this conversion contributes to producing its highest-quality champagne with the greatest respect for the environment. The 64,800 bottles of Réserve de la Terre stand as proof that it is possible to craft one of the best champagnes with no compromise when it comes to sustainability. 

Unadorned, with a low dosage (sugar level is 2.5 grams/liter), and focused on the fruit, this extra-brut champagne allows the terroir to express its full strength and character. It reflects the life of our vineyard, the energy of the soil, and the vitality of the terroir. Beyond the classic Champagne codes, the organic grapes translate into a cuvée of solar energy, precision, balance, and complexity. Aged in our cellar for three years, Réserve de la Terre is a blend of three magnificent years (2020 at 70%, 2019 at 15%, and 2018 at 15%) and three perfectly balanced grape varieties (Meunier at 44%, Chardonnay at 34%, and Pinot Noir at 22%). This wine transcends paradoxes, melding the incisive with the gourmand, the sharp with the crisp, the fresh with the ripe.  

“This organic cuvée is one of my greatest victories. It’s the fruit of my long-standing commitment to organic viticulture and respect for the terroir and the vines. A manifesto-cuvée, radiant, luminous, and full of life.” Bertrand Lhôpital, Cellar Master and Grapefather of Maison Telmont  

“With this new cuvée Réserve de la Terre, Telmont continues to demonstrate the benefits of organic farming for the soil, the winegrowers, and the wine itself. It’s the taste of the future.” Leonardo DiCaprio, investor in Maison Telmont.  

“Champagne Telmont has demonstrated how to reap the legacy of the land in a globally applicable way. It’s taking biodiversity beyond the boardroom.” Laure Verdeau, Director Agence Bio France  

“There will be a before and after Réserve de la Terre. This cuvée is proof by example that it is possible to go further than just respecting biodiversity. We can also combine organic and excellence by doing away with herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, and other synthetic fertilizers, In the Name of Mother Nature.” Ludovic du Plessis, President of Maison Telmont  

In Singapore, Réserve de la Terre is available at leading restaurants and bars, including the city’s flagship Telmont bar, Bayside, and the sustainability-focused restaurant, Open Farm Community.  For more information, please visit https://champagne-telmont.com/.
