Francis Boulard

In 2009, when Raymond Boulard’s three children chose to pursue their own professional paths, the family’s historic activity came to an end. The legacy, however, was carried forward by Francis, his wife Jeanne, and their daughter Delphine, who founded Francis Boulard Champagne & Fils, maintaining a strong connection to the terroir and family savoir-faire. From the outset, Francis oriented the estate toward environmentally respectful viticulture, adopting organic and biodynamic practices with the aim of achieving full organic certification.

Drawing on a six-generation legacy of vignerons, he leads the Domaine with experience and vision, placing great emphasis on both vineyard and cellar work. The vineyards are mainly located in Cormicy, in the Massif de Saint-Thierry, northwest of Reims, on hills known as the Petite Montagne de Reims. Here, the adopted methods enhance wines with a strong territorial identity, characterized by aromatic complexity, mineral tension, and solid structure, making Francis Boulard’s production among the most compelling in the area.
