Leonardo DiCaprio has entered the world of Champagne and is now visiting the French grape varieties in which it is produced. Just three months after announcing his investment in Champagne Telmont, the actor went to the vineyards near Epernay, France. The visit, which People reported last week, was posted on the Maison’s Instagram profile.
“We are thrilled to have recently welcomed the actor, environmentalist, and investor of Champagne Telmont @leonardodicaprio to Damery,” the post reads. “Leonardo supports our vision and our commitment to create the most sustainable organic champagne and to focus strongly on the conservation of our land and our biodiversity.”

DiCaprio’s tour also included a visit to the caves, vats, and cultivated fields in the Marne Valley, cultivated by the L’Hopital family since 1912. In February Leonardo DiCaprio revealed that he had made “a substantial investment” in the family’s centenary Champagne, one of the main brands of organic bubbles. Telmont has an ambitious plan to commercialize 100% organic champagne by 2025. DiCaprio’s investment treaties began more than two years ago, slowed by the pandemic.
From protecting biodiversity on its land, to using 100% renewable electricity, @maisontelmont is determined to radically lower its environmental footprint. Proud to join as an investor in Champagne Telmont. https://t.co/frCFN9pcvQ

DiCaprio is just one of many Hollywood celebrities to invest in French champagne. The trend began with Jay-Z’s purchase in 2014 of the little but respected Armand de Brignac. In 2021, the music mogul sold half the property to luxury goods giant LVMH for an estimated profit of more than $ 300 million. Inspired by the worldwide success of his Chateau Miraval wines in Provence, Brad Pitt launched 2020 a Champagne Rosé, Fleur de Miraval, produced in the nearby commune of Mesnil-sur-Oger. Other notable investors include 50 Cent and Idris Elba.
