The story of Champagne Thierry Fournier began in the 1930s, when the first purchase of vineyards in Festigny was made by Henri Fournier

The Marne Valley is renowned for its argilo-calcareous and marl-limestone soils containing a high percentage of clay. Although Festigny is located in the very heart of the Marne Valley, its soils are more chalky than other neighbouring terroirs. Thus, this village boasts an unusual and unique terroir

Today, this fifth generation winery of 15 hectares produces wines of gluttony, vinosity and richness. The present is shaped by the arrival of Julien and Maxime on the Domaine. The two brothers share the values and the passion of past generations, and are willing to follow the same path as their forefathers, already looking forward to the future…

Vineyards

Over 80% of their vineyards are planted with Pinot Meunier, consisting of 45 plots of Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, situated in 11 villages, ranging from historical crus of the Marne Valley (Festigny, Leuvrigny, Oeuilly…) to the Côte des Blancs area. 

Wine Styles

Meunier prevails in their vineyards & blends, producing unique, very distinctive, aromatic and well-balanced wines.

All their bottles patiently age in their cellars for minimum four years before being disgorged. This longer aging brings more structure to the wines, and can even produce undergrowth notes and very delicate roasting.
