Brice Bezin

The Path

The technical footing of Champagne J. de Telmont was already in place in 2018, when Brice Bezin worked as oenologist at Champagne Telmont in Champagne, France. That role sat close to the cellar’s day-to-day discipline: watching detail, holding precision, and making decisions in measured steps. The progression from that point to Cellar Master and head of Grape Supply at Champagne J. De Telmont in 2025 reads as a deliberate rise through the work rather than a leap across it. The scope of the role matters. At one end is the cellar, where blends are shaped and the house style is kept in view. At the other is Grape Supply, where the material for those wines is secured. Brice Bezin’s position links those two sides of the house, so the work is carried from vineyard relationships through to the finished bottle.

The Work Today

Cellar direction and Grape Supply are held together in Brice Bezin’s current post at Champagne J. De Telmont in Damery, France. That combination reflects how closely the house depends on the fit between what comes in and what is eventually released. It is a remit that asks for constant attention, because the cellar can only work with what the supply side has secured. The house’s champagnes are described as airy yet structured, with tension and freshness in balance. In practical terms, that means the style has to keep lift without losing form. For a Cellar Master, the job is to keep that balance clear and legible, so the wines remain composed rather than blunt. The house frame around that work is explicit. Brice Bezin described his appointment as “a tremendous honour,” and also said, “It is an expression of our commitment to the project \"In the name of Mother Nature\".” Those comments place the role inside the maison’s stated direction, where cellar work and grape sourcing are treated as part of the same responsibility.

In Their Words “It is an expression of our commitment to the project "In the name of Mother Nature".” “Becoming Cellar Master of Maison Telmont is a tremendous honour.”
