THE STORY OF A FAMILY DEDICATED TO THEIR TERROIR

Didier got his first taste of what it was like to work as a winemaker at a young age by spending time with his grandfather and by joining his parent while they worked out among the vines. A true Champenois through and through, these shared moments shaped his love of wine and his terroir. Driven by his passion and a sense of duty, he threw everything he had into following the same path as his ancestors.

Gifted with an incredibly curious nature, his studies took him across Champagne and then to other famous wine regions, like Bourgogne. Thanks to these experiences, he successfully passed a range of exams in oenology and viticulture.

In 1986, his National Œnology Diploma allowed him to perfect his knowledge and to start thinking of more daring future projects. A man of duty and instinct, at just 20 years of age he returned home to take care of the family estate and breathe some new life into the business. Pragmatic and hard-working, he didn’t stop there! In the 1990s he wanted to give himself the means to achieve his ambitions. Never one to keep things simple, he challenged himself to start producing his own champagne. Once the decision was made, he started work on the construction of a building with a press, winery and cellar.

In 2007, following some changes in his family situation, Didier and his wife Marie-Hélène created their own eponymous brand: “Champagne Didier GOUSSARD”.

In 2012, he also took over sole management of the existing structure which operates the brand “Champagne Gustave GOUSSARD”. They were then joined by the new organic line in 2022: “Champagne Octave GOUSSARD”.

These two brands, anchored in their terroir, are an homage to his grandfather!
