Champagne Gustave Goussard

Champagne Gustave Goussard

A family champagne estate in Les Riceys (10340), in the Côte des Bar (Aube), the reigning land of Pinot Noir. An organic-certified vineyard (conversion from 2011, Ecocert) and Terra Vitis (2012), also committed to HVE. Sincere, sustainable cuvees, led by Didier Goussard.

At Champagne Gustave Goussard, every decision made since the takeover of the family estate rests on a deep will: to reconcile tradition, innovation and respect for the environment. Guided by permanent questioning, the house has learned that listening, exchange and humility are strengths. Whether in the work in the vines, the winemaking choices or the commercial relationships, the human is at the centre of everything, because the quality of a wine also depends on the well-being of those who bring it to life.

A strong commitment to a sustainable, certified viticulture

Convinced that the future of champagne lies in a more responsible approach, the estate began the organic conversion of its vineyard in 2011. In 2012, it joined the Terra Vitis Vignoble Champenois association, known for its requirements of traceability and respect for the environment. Its practices are controlled by independent bodies such as Ecocert and AFNOR, in a constant concern for transparency and reliability.
