Telmont Champagne launches new range in Singapore
Telmont Champagne: A 1912 Heritage
Back in 1912, a visionary named Henri L’Hôpital set out near the quiet French village of Damery to create something that would sparkle for a century. Telmont Champagne was born out of a deep love for the terroir and a commitment to sustainable winemaking. And guess what? That love still bubbles to this day.
What You’ll Find in Telmont’s Portfolio
- Blanc de Blancs Vintage 2012 – the fancy daughter of the family’s offerings, ready for pairing with all that’s been roasted to perfection. Think smoked, wood‑fired octopus served with a splash of sherry‑cask olive oil. We’re talking a dish priced at about $258 plus a 750 ml bottle of the same masterpiece.
- Reserve Brut – the classic crowd‑pleaser, now just $80, perfect for those who appreciate a crisp, balanced fizz.
- Reserve Rose – a lovely blush that arrives at $92, ideal for fans of a sweeter, fruit‑forward sparkle.
Where and How to Enjoy the Sparkles
At Casa Restaurant, you can savor the Blanc de Blancs alongside mouth‑watering octopus that you’ll swear thanks the chef for stirring your taste buds. The experience is a cocktail for the senses that will leave you feeling indulgently satisfied.
Tippling Club invites you to hop over for one or two champagne cocktails. It’s the social spot where bubbling bubbles mingle with good company.
Prefer a quieter home celebration? Bottles & Bottles will be stocking the Reserve Brut and Reserve Rose from Nov 22, 2021. That means you can pop a cork at your leisure, with everything you need in one stylish, convenient place.
Curious for More?
Telmont Champagne has an exciting story that’s only beginning. We’ll keep you posted on the next vintage and the next flourish of flavor that our terroir is brewing up.

A cheeky Nando’s – Asian style
Spice Meets Local Flavour: Nando’s New Peri‑Peri Bowls

The Menu Magic
- Build Your Own Bowl ($10.90) – Pick from four bases (rice, noodles, etc.), four mains (chicken, veggies, or even a protein swap), and seven sides to craft your own culinary masterpiece.
- Peri‑Peri Chicken & Rice – The classic spicy bite paired with jasmine rice that’s been lovingly infused with coconut and pandan. The aroma alone is worth a hug.
- Peri‑Peri Chicken & Noodles – Swirl those noodles in a Peri‑Laksa sauce that’s a cheeky nod to Singapore’s beloved laksa, adding a sweet‑spicy kick that will make your taste buds do the salsa.
What’s the Scoop?
Chef Shen Tan’s stamp of approval means each bowl is a carefully balanced dance of heat, herbs, and the comforting undertones of local ingredients. Whether you’re after a hearty chick‑pea, a protein-packed chicken, or a vegetarian twist, there’s a base and a side ready to meet you halfway.
