Pioneering the Future of Champagne: Telmont Announces Second Edition of 'Reserve de la Terre Rose', a 100% Organic Manifesto Cuvee

Maison Telmont, represented in Japan by Remy Cointreau Japan, announces the second edition of 'Reserve de la Terre Rose', a 100% organic manifesto cuvee, celebrating a new chapter for the 'Reserve de la Terre' range.

Guided by the philosophy 'In the Name of Mother Nature', and drawing on over a century of heritage across four generations, Maison Telmont continues its commitment to organic viticulture. This second release is made exclusively from 100% organically grown grapes, entirely free from herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, or chemical fertilizers.

A Harmonious Rose Champagne Born from Three Terroirs

The 'Reserve de la Terre Rose' is a mosaic of select terroirs, expressing the richness and diversity of the Champagne soil. The vineyards in Taissy (Premier Cru), with their chalky and clay soils facing south-to-southwest, provide a perfect balance of minerality, freshness, and structure. In Damery, the soils are predominantly marl and fossil-rich limestone, producing rounder, deeper wines from south-to-southeast facing slopes. The slow and uniform maturation here enhances the fruit's expressiveness while maintaining acidity. Finally, in Champignol-lez-Mondeville, the stony clay-limestone soils offer excellent drainage and gentle maturation, contributing a delicate structure and rich expressiveness. The fusion of these three terroirs creates a rose Champagne of harmony and precision.

An In-depth Blend of Three Varieties and Three Vintages

Its character is defined by a precise and balanced blend of the three quintessential Champagne varieties: 43% Meunier, 34% Chardonnay, and 23% Pinot Noir (15% of which is vinified as red wine). Notably, this includes 100% Pinot Noir red wine harvested in 2021 from Champignol-lez-Mondeville. Gentle maceration in stainless steel tanks extracts the color and subtle tannins, lending beautiful structure and aromatic depth while maintaining freshness and elegance.

This cuvee is composed of three vintages: 2022 (73%), a year marked by generous sunlight and excellent quality and yield; 2021 (16%), a challenging year for yield but one that produced grapes of outstanding quality; and 2020 (11%), a vintage with both rich yields and excellent quality.

The dosage is 6.4g/L. By layering the personalities of different years, the wine achieves remarkable balance and complexity, fully expressing the pure charm of the fruit.

A Taste Where Fruit Purity and Terroir Resonate

Poured into the glass, 'Reserve de la Terre Rose' displays a luminous, delicate pink hue and fine bubbles, projecting vitality and energy. The nose opens with elegant, toasted notes reminiscent of sourdough bread and a hint of grilled nuances, evolving into rich red fruit. On the palate, a harmonious blend of solar strength and crisp freshness manifests, clearly expressing the pure fruit flavors derived from organic cultivation. These are complemented by subtle hints of graphite and blood orange. The finish is slow to unfold, characterized by a pleasant bitterness accompanied by a refined salinity and a touch of spice, leaving a lasting, balanced impression.

'In the Name of Mother Nature': Telmont's Vision for the Future

At the heart of Maison Telmont's environmental project, 'In the Name of Mother Nature', launched in 2021, is the commitment to organic and regenerative viticulture. While only 6% of vineyards in the Champagne region are organic, Telmont achieved 'Regenerative Organic Certification® (ROC™)' for its own certified organic vineyards in 2025. This initiative is more than just conservation; it embodies Telmont's philosophy toward wine quality itself. By addressing environmental challenges such as biodiversity promotion, soil regeneration, and carbon footprint, the house is dedicated to crafting a sustainable future for Champagne.
