Winery Champagne Thierry Fournier

A family-owned estate, now in its fourth and fifth generations, rooted in the village of Festigny in the Marne Valley. In recent years the team was refreshed by the arrival of Julien, and the estate modernized its winery with a new vinification facility installed in 2007–2008. The family continues to vinify and bottle its own grapes, maintaining tradition while pursuing development.

Production focused on precision and respect for the terroir: predominance of Meunier in the blends, viticulture "raisonnée" with a long-term environmental plan, winemaking that favours extended ageing on the lees and careful attention to the balance and delicacy of the wines. They also experiment with winemaking techniques, such as the use of oak barrels for some trials.

Vineyards in the Vallée de la Marne, with parcels spread across 11 different communes. Variable soils and exposures allow blends with a broad aromatic spectrum. The winery is about a 1.5-hour drive from Paris and operates within the historic area of the Champagne slopes, part of the UNESCO site since 2015.
