Gault&Millau's review 2021

With a blend of 40% pinot noir and 60% chardonnay, this cuvée has a straw-yellow color and a nose dominated by citrus and white flower notes. Although quite discreet, the palate has a clean, lively attack where, in addition to the aromas of the nose, a texture reminiscent of redcurrant jelly develops, giving it a lovely refinement to serve as an aperitif with Termignon blue cheese gougères and toasts of raw foie gras marinated for 24 hours in this champagne, seasoned with salt and pepper.

Didier Goussard

The family spirit of winemaking has been passed down through several generations. After graduating in oenology, Didier Goussard developed his champagne in the 1990s on the family estate, before creating a second domaine in 2007. Today, Didier and Marie-Hélène welcome you to their village home in the heart of Les Riceys. Adept at sharing their experience, the couple have joined a GDV (groupement de développement viticole) and are open to alternative farming techniques. Chemical herbicides were abandoned in 2013, and permanent cover techniques are being experimented with thanks to the creation of a cooperative for the use of agricultural equipment (Cuma), not forgetting a reflection on agroforestry. Terra Vitis certification for the estate and its champagnes since 2012 is a concrete expression of this approach.
