DiCaprio recently joined majority shareholder Rémy Cointreau group with his investment in Telmont Champagne, a house with some of the most ambitious goals for greater sustainability in the region. Formerly known as J. de Telmont, the house was founded in 1912 and renamed Telmont in 2021.
Telmont’s path to sustainability began four years earlier, when it earned its first Agriculture Biologique France Certification for organic agriculture for a portion of its 60 acres of estate-owned vineyards in 2017. As part of a larger, multi-pronged project the house refers to as “In the Name of Mother Nature,” they pledged to convert all estate-owned vineyards to organic agriculture by 2025 and all cultivated areas—including vineyards from which they purchase grapes—by 2031.
“Champagne Telmont, together with its partner winegrowers, has set its sights on producing 100 percent organic Champagne, ensuring a completely sustainable production lifecycle in the coming years,” said DiCaprio in a press release announcing his investment. “From protecting biodiversity on its land to using 100 percent renewable electricity, Champagne Telmont is determined to radically lower its environmental footprint, making me proud to join as an investor.”
Champagne Telmont is steeped in traditional craftmanship and resolutely committed to organic agriculture. The House of Telmont was born in 1912, a century old Champagne House. The fruit of a vision driven by a powerful connection with the earth - inspired by the oldest traditions of artisanal winemaking. Today, Telmont remains, true to the vision and values of its founder, expressed through every cuvee: - A deep abiding respect for our terroir. - The perpetuation of ancestral champagne craftmanship. - An unwavering commitment to preserving the environment for generations to come. |
