The story of the Domaine begins in the 1930s with the first purchase of vineyards in Festigny, one of the cradles of Meunier and the cradle of Domaine Thierry Fournier. Situated on the Left Bank of the Marne Valley, and more specifically in the Flagot Valley, Festigny is a village with a very rich winemaking tradition.
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.
Respecting the soil and the plant is both part of their green project and a quality imperative, giving birth to excellent perspectives for the blends and building deep wines over time. They cherish the terroir of the Marne Valley, where the Meunier expresses all of its wonderful potential.
Actually, Meunier prevails in their vineyards and blends, and produces unique, very distinctive, aromatic and well-balanced wines.
The various grape varieties (Meunier, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir) combine with numerous types of soils and exposures.
