PARIS, June 22, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

-- Our champagne's excellence stems above all from our respect for nature

-- Champagne comes from the earth and is indebted to it. The more gratitude and

respect we show the earth, the more it will clear a path to excellence in

return. This virtuous circle is the defining feature of familial champagne

house Telmont.

Since 1912, year the House was founded by Henri Lhopital, on his land of

Damery, near Epernay, Telmont has defended its vision of viticulture and the

values it holds dear: loyalty, humility and courage. The House revels in its

singularity, proclaimed by its motto: Nec Pluribus Impar, unlike any other.

Upholding its legacy, Telmont took its first steps towards organic conversion

and obtained, in 2017, its first certification for a portion of the vineyards

of its estate.

Champagne Telmont is determined to pursue its ambition: carving an exemplary

path towards a 100% organic house using production methods with reduced impact

on its natural surroundings. Telmont has decided to act "in the name of Mother

Nature," thus advocating for the preservation of nature's gifts, leaving its

essence untouched.

The House of Telmont has set five tangible objectives.

Objective #1: preserving terroir and biodiversity. Today, 72% of the estate's

24.5 hectares are certified in organic agriculture or are in the process of

conversion. The aim is to convert 100% of the estate by 2025. Telmont

Champagne's partner winegrowers (56.5 hectares) will be supported by the House

in their shift towards organic agriculture (39% of their vineyards are already

certified or in conversion). This ambitious transformation targets the

conversion to organic agriculture of 100% of all cultivated areas by 2031, for

both the Telmont estate and partner winegrowers, compared to the 49% of those

currently certified or in conversion. Biodiversity will be encouraged across

the entire estate, both in the vineyards and in the adjacent natural areas. To

this end, 2,500 shrubs will be planted over the next three years to provide

"insect hotels" in the vineyards, preserving species diversity and promoting

sustainable carbon binding.
