Telmont Blanc de Noirs 2015 is an exceptional Champagne that embodies the unique character of the 2015 vintage. Following a hot and dry summer, the harvest was particularly favorable for Meunier and Pinot Noir varieties, resulting in a harmonious wine with smooth notes, balanced by a refreshing crispness and hints of citrus fruit. On the palate, it offers a supple and smooth attack that transitions into freshness with positive and light bitters, echoing notes of lime and citrus fruit.
The Champagne house Telmont was founded in 1912 by Henri Lhôpital in Damery, near Épernay, in the heart of the Champagne region of France. Since then, four generations of the Lhôpital family have passionately nurtured the tradition and expertise of crafting premium Champagne.
Today, Bertrand Lhôpital, a fourth-generation family member, serves as the cellar master and vineyard director, continuing the family’s dedication to quality and innovation. In 2020, the French family-owned group Rémy Cointreau became the majority shareholder of Telmont, recognizing shared values and a vision for a sustainable future.
This acquisition further strengthened Telmont’s commitment to environmentally responsible Champagne production. Telmont’s range of Champagnes includes various cuvées such as Réserve Brut, Blanc de Blancs, Blanc de Noirs, and Vinothèque. These Champagnes are characterized by elegance, freshness, and a pronounced expression of the terroir from which they originate.
