Leonardo DiCaprio Visits Fields in France

The visit comes three months after Leonardo DiCaprio announced his investment in Champagne Telmont.

It didn’t take long for Leonardo DiCaprio to get into Champagne.

Just three months after announcing his investment in Champagne Telmont, the actor took to the fields near Epernay, France. The visit, which a source tells PEOPLE occurred last week, was posted on the maison’s Instagram on Tuesday.

“We are thrilled to have recently welcomed actor, environmentalist and Champagne Telmont investor @leonardodicaprio to Damery,” read the post. “Leonardo supports our vision and commitment to create the most sustainable, organic champagne and heavily focus on preserving our land and our biodiversity.

DiCaprio’s tour included a visit to the caves, vats and Marne Valley growing fields, which have been cultivated by the LHopital family since 1912. 

In February, DiCaprio disclosed he had made “a substantial investment” in the 110-year old house, a leading bio-friendly bubbly.

Telmont has ambitious plans to market a 100% organic champagne by 2025, with increasing emphasis on expanding eco-friendly processes through its growing and production sectors. Half of its grape supply is already organically produced, the house says.
