The Champagne J.M Goulard embodies an exciting family history, a deep-rooted winemaking tradition and an unwavering devotion to quality and craftsmanship. Founded by the Goulard family, this Champagne house located in the picturesque Vallée de la Marne region of Champagne, is the fruit of a rich heritage and an ongoing quest for excellence.
The family's history dates back several generations, when Jean-Marie Goulard laid the foundations for what would become an iconic Champagne house. This history is marked by a deep passion for terroir, vines and Champagne tradition.
Terroir is the backbone of its exceptional Champagnes. Vineyards stretch across the steep hills of the Vallée de la Marne, a prime location for growing the region's emblematic grape varieties: Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The clay-limestone soils characteristic of Vallée de la Marne give the grapes a unique expression and optimal ripeness.
The grape varieties reflect the diversity of Champagne. Grape varieties are planted with care, taking into account the particularities of each plot and each grape variety, to create balanced and expressive cuvées.
Manufacturing methods are a subtle blend of tradition and innovation. Grapes are harvested by hand to select the most promising bunches. Vinification is meticulously orchestrated, combining modern techniques with ancestral know-how.
The Champagnes are aged in stainless steel vats and bottles, where the cuvées mature slowly and acquire aromatic depth and refined texture. This prolonged cellaring phase is essential in shaping the unique character of Champagnes J.M Goulard.
The location of Champagne J.M Goulard in Vallée de la Marne plays a major role. This region, which stretches along the Marne River, offers an ideal climate for growing high-quality grapes and creating balanced, elegant Champagnes.
